Movie review: SebastianComedy's aboutmyfather is a messy, limp rom-com with RobertDeNiro as bait
"About My Father" -- One-half star If you were to resurrect the tired storyline of a young couple having to meet their partners' parents and were looking around for someone to play the gruff, disapproving future father-in-law, one name should definitely not pop out. Robert De Niro.
Comedian and former Arlington Heights resident Sebastian Maniscalco has co-written and stars in this big sloppy Italian-American kiss about family that not only leans into stereotypes -- working-class Italians on one side, WASPs on the other -- but plows the field with them. Tigger , Ellie and Bill welcome Sebastian Maniscalco and his father into their summer home in"About My Father." - Courtesy of Lionsgate On the other side is the Collins clan, who came to America on the Mayflower. Mom is a U.S. senator and dad is CEO of a luxurious hotel group. They live in a gated compound in Maryland with peacocks wandering around."You should see the house in Aspen," mom says.
