Father
Figures is a fun little comedy though not as funny as I wished. This movie is
about two brothers who go on a road trip to find their real father and
craziness ensues. Ed Helms and Owen Willson both give good performances in this
movie playing brothers. They have good chemistry with each other and are fun to
watch. Glenn Close also does a good job in the small role as the mother. I do
not want to spoil them here, but all the possible dads do a good job and are
funny. Sadly despite the great cast, this movie did not have as many laughs as
I hoped. The first twenty minutes of this movie were almost laugh-free with
only the occasional chuckle. However, once the brothers went on their road trip
the movie picked up dramatically. The movie got funnier as it went on. Towards
the end of the second act, there were two scenes in particular that I was
crying with laughter. This movie is hard to dislike because it has such a big
heart. There are some genuinely touching moments in this movie. Overall, Father
Figures is not great, but still had enough funny moments for me to recommend
it.
6/10
