Il padre dell'anno

Yes, I had few laughs, but in the end this is just another shallow movie with so many wasted potential. I dont know for people of what age are this movies created? I can not see them as movies for adults, because they are too much shalow and empty, so maybe this movies are realy made for kids. They should advertise them as movies for kids than, just to help us adults skip them and save us some time.

Father of the Year, not to be confused with Worlds Greatest Dad (2009) is a standard Hollywood comedy movie made by Happy Madison studio.

It tells the story of two friends who debate who would win between their fathers in a fight. One being a trailer park loveable loser played by David Spade and the other a wimpy scientist played by Nat Faxon (Who I keep mixing up with Ed Helms for some reason).

They play it safe, if you enjoy Happy Madison movies you'll likely get a kick out of this however on the flipside if you don't then skip over it.

Spade provides his usual brand of goofy physical humor and as usual it works, I chuckled out loud several times throughout the film. A couple of scenes in particular had me in near stitches which comedies rarely do these days.

Sure the whole movie isn't of that consistently great quality but at no point does it really get bad.

Also starring the adorable Bridgit Mendler who has an overwhelming likeability factor and a few of Sandlers friends this is a very passable comedy effort and a good way of killing 90 minutes.

The Good:

Spade and Mendler

Some genuine laughs

Interesting ideas mixed in there

The Bad:

Goes stale a couple of times

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Spade only ever plays one character, and that's fine with me

Faxon IS Helms, I don't care what anyone says! That dude is getting 2 paychecks.

This movie had a lot of promise after watching the trailer; however, it was poorly executed. Poor sense of humor, semi tolerable plot, and decent acting is how I would describe this movie. After the first 20 minutes, you realize you're better off watching something else.

I almost didn't watch thsi because of the bad reviews. I am glad I did. Yes the movie is stupid but that's what makes it funny. I had a really good time watching this. Would have been even better if I were stoned though.

Decent enough to have on in the background while perusing through your phone
