Humor Me

This movie is a lovely tale about a man who finds new meaning at a low point in his life when he's forced to move in with his widowed father, who now lives in a retirement community. The casting is fantastic, it's full of "dad" jokes which people will either love or hate, and it has a lot of heart.

Watchable, if you like Jemaine Clement. Even if it's one of his more uncommonly sensible characters, much like his role in People Places Things (2015).

A drama-free lighthearted little movie.

I don't get how this movie gets so low on rating. It's a light movie comedy to watch. The story was on point, with a little bit of sad back story. How Jermaine over come the loss of his mother, disappointment in his father, thinking he took it too light. And accepted it all at the end. Sure, I was surprised by the accent, but Jermaine actually did well in the role. I feel like movie was around 8.5/10 def better than a lot of movies out there now days. Was a good one to just turn on and relax and not needing to use a lot of brain cell. Entertaiment sometimes is like this movie. That you don't need to work super hard to get a laugh out of people.

This was an amusing little story about family, complacency, dealing with loss (or not), moving on and redemption, couched in jokes and likable characters. It wasn't a must see film, but it wasn't bad either. I didn't feel like I wasted my time like with some movies, but I think the cast is what made it worth seeing.

Jermaine clement is great as always, and it was interesting to see him with an American accent. Elliot Gould did a fine job as the dad who's constantly telling corny jokes, and it was also nice to see Annie Potts in the first thing I've seen her in since Ghostbusters. All in all, it was a decent film, with humour and some heart.

Not a movie that many would enjoy. But I think it's a brilliant movie about life, family, grieving and rebirth. I loved every second of it, because it's soooo good and really relatable. I am amazed that it did not win any major awards...
