Where’s Poppa?

1970 · 82 min

A gleefully tasteless black comedy that keeps you squirming and laughing at the same time, with a frantic, uncomfortable energy.

Tagline: The tush scene alone is worth the price of admission.
Overview: When New York attorney Gordon Hocheiser meets Louise Callan, the girl of his dreams, he schemes to eliminate his aging, senile mother, even though he promised his late father that he'd always take care of her. He fears that his batty mom's eccentricities will shortly lead to Louise's departure.
How it feels: Dark, absurd, satirical and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Family, obsession, isolation, guilt
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
