Come to Daddy

First half is better than the second half. Around the 51 minute mark, the movie changes completely. The first half is 10/10. Second half is more of a 5/10. I wish it would've remained a father & son conflict as it was in the beginning. The enemies and their tactics are not very believable. There's a number of very unrealistic choices made by all the characters. But I was still entertained throughout, so I recommend it.

Elijah Wood gives a very good performance as an abandoned son seeking closure in this charmingly whacky comic thriller. "Come to Daddy" initially shows an endearing strangeness that's reinforced by the camera angles and casually elegant framing. The plot substantially nuttier. Enjoyable performances from Wood and Donovan hold the film to its liberating goals, even as it descends into what can only be described as bloody chaos. Absurd, audacious, colourful and moving. Buckle up and enjoy the ride up to the end. You will enjoy this movie.

A musician from Beverly Hills receives a letter from his estranged father asking him to come and visit him in his secluded cabin overlooking a lake n surrounded by woods. As audience we suspect that something is not right after the phone calls, but trust me the film is not at all predictable. It is very hilarious n well acted. Elijah Wood gave a good performance and Michael Smiley is hilarious with his ultimate weapons, a pen n a crossbow. The film is a bit slow in the beginning but picks up n then doesn't let go. I was laughing my guts out. I didn't like the director's Greasy Strangler. Found it gross n offensive. But this movie is less gross n more comedic.

This movie was a very fun watch. Elijah Wood does a wonderful job selling his character as a priviledged adult. It does an excellent job grasping your attention in the first act, even though it tends to slow down a lot in the second. The third act successfully ramps it back up and this is where the movie shines as the over the top gorefest it is. There are a few suspenseful scenes that will keep you invested and glued to the screen, and there are quite a few interactions between characters thay will give you some laughs to ease the tension the rest of the movie lays on you. Fun movie to watch, and definitely a good movie to recommend.

So many times I watched a movie with bad reviews mainly rated by young people and it turned out I loved the movie. Can YouTube somehow take into consideration to show ratings per generation or age range?

I'm tired of trolls with short attention spans having a major impact on ratings, using reviews as an outlet for their primary reactions. Most of their comments are immature, stupid or ignorant.

Yeah, c'mon hate on me. I bet this probably sounds like grumpy old man talk to you.

Let's just respect the fact that there is a generation gap and I'd like to be able to sort the ratings by age range.
