GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Xikar If you're here, you may have already seen this movie. And you probably feel cheated for watching it. It seems like a nepotism filled cast of characters that are not being held to any standards or direction. The word quality never made it to this script. So, was it a comedy? Was it an adventure? Just what was it? Whatever it was, it was filled with worthless scenes and empty acting. I'm willing to bet that some of the actors were sorry for doing this movie. It was BAD.

Frankandsexy The word idiot is perfect for the people in this movie. I just didn't know idiots came in so many colors.I can understand people lose interest in this movie quickly, because it's kind of a weird one. The story isn't much for one. But for second I can't think of any negative ;).This movie has a very clever way of telling jokes and I guess if your not bright enough you simply don't get them. I admit that some jokes took me some time and got to me after watching it. After watching it a second time I even got more jokes out of it. I believe that's my problem and not that of the movie.The acting is impressive too, because the characters are almost too absurd to imagine, but they are put down very realistically.

eboogyman Not the most perfect movie and doesn't aspire to be. However it is unique in the sense that the comedy doesn't come from situations but from the interactions between the characters. The movie is about a comedy writer interviewing little league suburbanite parents who each seem to be suffering from a distinct and hilarious personality disorder. Each of the suburbanites are played by top notch comedian whom I've seen in other roles and have enjoyed. Ironically Garlin plays the straight man to the wacky cast of characters he's forced to deal with. If I had one criticism, it would be that the film had a lack of an ending. However, despite that fact, it didn't take away from the ride, and during that ride you knew you were experiencing something unique anyway. Uniqueness is what I feel like is missing from most movies and in that, this film delivers. A hidden gem and worth a watch, I look forward to more from Jeff Garlin.

Marting Blank "They're all offended by everything!?" Is a line from the hero's wife that sums up, in my opinion, the nature of the story. She says this after one of many encounters with the living breathing examples that we all bounce off of daily, of what happens when people lose their connection to humanity and replaced it with a death-grip on their own delusions(The coaches wife is my favorite/most hated example). Jeff Garlin is genius in illustrating the everyday 'idiotics' that we all either encounter or contribute to depending on whatever determines that. I'll be on the lookout from now on for more of his work.Even the 'fatherly' scenes that would have been left out of 95% of the genres scripts added so much depth to interactions and understanding of the star. I didn't expect that and it made things even more real and moved in between the scenes that I was laughing.Like Idiocracy, somehow this movie escaped the radar of the masses and it's a damn tragedy, if for no other reason but I'd like to think those of us that agree with the premise of it aren't in the minority...Oh well some are born tall, some short, some smart, ...Oh and as a bonus the casting took this movie from poignant and funny as hell to a world-class comedy experience. When you cast a movie from top to bottom with stars that can make you cry with laughter, your bound to strike gold. Great movie!
