Father Figures

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Father Figures

Post by Leisher »

Yay my buddy's HBOGo account!

Owen Wilson and Ed Helms are twins who grew up believing their father died of prostate cancer. Somehow their mother, Glenn Close, reveals that was bullshit, so Helms and Wilson decide to go find their father.

This movie is mostly about Helms as Wilson's life situation, aside from one thing, doesn't need "fixing".

Jenny from The League shows up. And there's a pretty big cameo towards the end. Edit: Terry Bradshaw, Ving Rhames, and J.K. Simmons are also in it. Bradshaw's scenes are the best.

There are a couple of minor chuckles, but overall this isn't a memorable film.
