ABOUT MY FATHER is so bad. The story is recycled and every joke is tragically unfunny. It doesn't know if it wants to be a knockoff of "Meet the Fockers" or Jo Koy's "Easter Sunday."
I wonder why Robert De Niro keeps agreeing to do these types movies in the twilight of his career. Maybe because he doesn't have to flex his acting muscles to play the disgruntled dad in a standup comic's passion project.
De Niro, who gave us classics like Deer Hunter, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Godfather...that thespian should not be giving us these snooze fests.
At least we'll forgot he was ever in this awful movie in a few months when we see him in Killers of the Flower Moon.
