Humor Me

Thats all i really have to say. it just bugs me when good movies dont even credit the lead actors.

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.

Humor me.. the 2017 one, with elliott gould. Written and directed by sam hoffman. When nate's wife leaves and takes the kid, he (jemaine clement) goes to live with his dad (elliott gould). Some sight gags about retirement communities. And writer's block. And father son relationships. All the nookie that may or may not be happening at a retirement community. Small roles for annie potts and bebe neuwirth! Nate and his dad both have their own issues to figure out. Can they do it while sharing an apartment? It's pretty good! Very cute. It kind of moseys along. Gould was nominated for bob and carol.

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.

Nice story about a man who needs to better himself after having just generally given up on life. Nothing too serious or monumental, but certainly solid and heartfelt, if a little mushy and contrived at times.

The message of the film is a pretty decent on the whole, saying that you have to actually try, while not taking yourself too seriously, and then whatever you do will be better for it. It doesn't promise the world, only a nicer place in it. It's a little sickly sweet, but it makes sense.

Overall I would recommend this movie, it's nothing revolutionary but it is fun and pleasant, while also not really being too offensive. Generally appropriate for young and old, as long as they don't take themselves too seriously.
