BradWesley123's Movie Journal- April 2018 (31 movies items)" Blu-Ray- 1hr. 52min. First Viewing Father Figures is an oddly conceived film; it is, ostensibly, a comedy that doesn't really have many jokes. Sure, there are a few, but the film has a fundamental tonal flaw in that it can't understand whether it wants to be a slapstick comedy or an indie-level dramedy. In all honesty, it works better when it moves towards the drama, including a weirdly semi-touching final reveal that probably only works thanks to Glenn Close's presence; when it leans towards R"
“Helmed by veteran cinematographer but first-time director Lawrence Sher, Father Figures was actually filmed in 2015, but it took two years to finally see the light of day after test screenings and reshoots. Sher worked on several notable comedies as a director of photography, including the Hangover trilogy and The Dictator, and should therefore know a thing or two about comic tomfoolery, but Father Figures is not the right vehicle for his directorial debut. Despite an impressive ensemble cast and a polished technical presentation, there are virtually no laughs to glean throughout - even at its best, the flick is still barely chuckle-worthy. Moreover, it's difficult to shake the feeling that we have seen all of this before, and done better.
