Father of the Year

2018 · 94 min

A silly, low-stakes comedy that coasts on crude gags and awkward family chaos, easy to watch but rarely memorable.

Tagline: They've got one summer to make their kids proud.
Overview: Two college grads return to their hometown, where a hypothetical question -- whose dad would win in a fight? -- leads to mass mayhem.
How it feels: Absurd, light, cynical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, parenthood, friendship, coming-of-age
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
