Humor Me

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
