wildmike101 Too many serious critics so it seems.After a long week at work if you want a feel good film watch this with a bottle of wine. kind of old school but with a lot of heart. Decent cast. Some good chemistry. And some twists along the way. Very heart warming...Not an oscar winner but a weekend feel good film!

ctbearfan This is a religous movie masking as a mainstream comedy. If they pushed Christianity or Muslim views this hard would have been categorized as a religious film. Very sad ..

namashi_1 'Father Figures' is no great movie. But it isn't a bad movie either. At least not as bad as the critics called it. Its, at its very core, a very watchable comedy, that, believe it or not, has got a heart too.'Father Figures' Synopsis: Upon learning that their mother has been lying to them for years about their allegedly deceased father, two fraternal twin brothers hit the road in order to find him.'Father Figures' is a tale of two brothers, who go on a journey to find their real dad, but end up exploring each other more than they could've imagined. And this story, though monotonous after a point, has some funny jokes that land & the banter between its brothers, has moments that evoke mirth & some genuine emotion too. I found myself emotionally connected in the film's concluding moments, which I least expected too. Having said that, there is no denying that 'Father Figures' gets repetitive & even some of its jokes don't land. Also, the length could've been trimmed by 10-15 minutes.Justin Malen's Screenplay is a mixed bag, but there are some nice things here, that leave a mark. Lawrence Sher's Direction is adequate. Cinematography is satisfactory. Editing could've been tighter. Art & Costume Design are standard.Performance-Wise: Owen Wilson & Ed Helms are extremely likable. Both of the terrific actors add a lot to their roles & excel in the comedic & emotional bits. The Legendary Glenn Close appears in a cameo as the mother of the boys & as usual, lends grace to the part. Among the dads, Terry Bradshaw is fun to watch, J. K. Simmons wild & The Great Christopher Walken gets barely anything to do. Ving Rhames & Katt Williams are funny. On the whole, 'Father Figures' is an entirely watchable comedy, that has its pros & cons. Not a bad Sunday noon watch!

ryanfenton-68663 Let me preface this by saying I've been on this site countless times over the years, but never once logged onto this site to rate a movie.... until now.Rented "Father Figures" last night after seeing Owen Wilson and Ed Helms was in it...I noticed that it was a "comedy" but it definitely was NOT a comedy. I chuckled maybe twice and it was solely at Owen Wilson's quirky antics and nothing else. I'm not kidding -- I've never once even thought about giving a movie a bad review. Normally I could careless... but after wasting 2 hours of my life on this horrific film I told myself that if I could just deter one individual from wasting their time watching this film then I have accomplished something worthwhile.
