Sobrevivendo ao Meu Pai

This is a road show between father and son and you can pretty much guess what happens. That being said, it's the journey that works, and the acting is great throughout.

In the #MeToo era of Hollywood's misogyny. An Actor Prepares would count as a prime exhibit.

Jeremy Irons plays Atticus Smith a hard living and hard drinking Oscar winning actor who has a heart attack while receiving a lifetime achievement award.

Unable to fly he has to drive cross country to attend his daughter's wedding. He is accompanied reluctantly by his estranged son Adam, an uptight feminist lecturer and documentary maker who seems to have a few problems of his own.

Smith is preparing to play god for his next role. Despite his health scare he is not prepared to give up his boozy lecherous lifestyle as he hits the road. He also regards Adam as a snitch who told his mom that dad was cheating on her.

Irons is having a ball playing the philandering Smith and he is certainly waves his balls about in front of his son as the viewer gets to see plenty of his rear.

Unfortunately Irons is the only person having fun in this movie. It is an unfunny road comedy with tired cliched characters.

I don't review much as i'm too lazy. I mostly rate surprises. This film surprised me because of its low score. Jeremy Irons and the cast did a great job. Had me laughing and enjoying the film from start to finish. This film deserves a much higher score. I'm an imdb member over 10 years with less than 10 reviews so this is a 100% genuine review. Watch this feel good comedy if you wants laughs and more...

This film tells the cross country drive of an estranged father and son. It is entertaining because it is witty and unexpected. The main character is not particularly likable, but viewers get to like him in the end.

I've just saw it on TV with my girlfriend and her sister. We all have a good laugh. OK it's not a masterpiece but is a pretty decent film and both main actors are doing a great job. 7.5 out of 10 in my opinion and much, much better than most of the nowadays comedies.
