Featured reviews
I was surprised by, and enjoyed this movie. I actually cried during the last ten minutes because I recently lost my own father in April of this year. Watching this movie reminded me of the conversations we aren't going to have anymore. It is a feel good movie though, considering all that we have going on in the world right now. I was able to literally get away, be encouraged, and entertained for a little while. I would encourage you to watch this movie if you want to feel better!
This was not a bad movie, but it was not a great movie. It was very low budget. If you have watched any Michael Jr. Standup, or have seen him, that is all this movie is. It is just a showcase for his standup, not a great message or anything.
Take a chance. Alone or with family or friend get comfy sit down watch this movie. One thing is for sure we can all agree prayer is helpful. Times get intimidating or we fall off our paths or insecurities and fears creep in. Finding balance and joy and calm become a challenge. Great movie for teens to watch too. Realistic movie about a families struggle in the real world. It's how one reacts to the hardships and struggles. How we care for ourselves and others. Some seek drugs and alcohol or sex to avoid reality. What do you do when days weeks years feel heavy and depressing? Well the best way is to focus on yourself to fix the issue but Jesus Christ will be the one to pull you back up. Amen.
A good family movie covering some of life's serious topics, in a light-hearted easy-to-digest way, using comedy.
Don't be put off by the viewer ratings, watch it and see for yourself.
Right, well as I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Selfie Dad", I must admit that I was expecting a comedy.
However, not even a single smile, much less any actual laughs managed to come from watching this movie. This was a massive swing and a miss, and I can in all honesty say that I was not entertained by the storyline presented in "Selfie Dad", as written and directed by Brad J. Silverman.
I have zero interest in the ludicrous desire some people have to film themselves and upload to platforms such a YouTube and such. I just don't get it. What is the whole point of it? Narcissism at its finest, pure and simple. And since I have no interest in the people doing this, and thus doesn't watch their YouTube channels and such, then watching a movie about it sure didn't make for proper entertainment.
The storyline in "Selfie Dad" was just a swing and a miss in terms of providing proper entertainment. And the fact that the story was so immensely slow-paced just prolonged the suffering of watching the movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate for the most parts, though this is hardly a movie that boasts stellar performances.
My rating of "Selfie Dad" lands on a three out of ten stars. Not for the story, not for the acting, but for the production value and editing, pure and simple.

- TriviaThe "Thank you" credits list in the credits begins by mentioning "Chic fil a San Clarita" spelled without the "k" in chick. This should give steam to all of the Mandela Effect subscribers who say that this was the original spelling of the restaurant chain's name.
- GoofsDespite being the Selfie Dad, Ben Marcus is actually never seen taking a selfie in the whole movie.
