De Niro and Maniscalco explore father-son relationships in 'About My Father'
TL;DR Summary
In "About My Father," a romantic comedy based on comedian Sebastian Maniscalco's life, Robert De Niro plays Salvo, an Italian immigrant from Sicily who runs a beauty salon and is invited to his son's wealthy fiancée's family Fourth of July weekend. De Niro is reliable in his comedic mode, but the film's gags fall flat, and the plot is hackneyed and labored. The supporting players provide good comic foils for De Niro, but the movie ultimately fails to deliver.
