This was a great comedy. I was laughing out loud right from the start. Maybe it's a generational thing. I thought it was hilarious! I'm glad I didn't know how bad the reviews were before I watched it.

Every funny line in this movie was in the trailer, so there were about 5 in the entire two hours. It really dragged on and the plot felt strained at points. It was either really good or I was *this close* to turning it off. The characters were there and then gone. I had high hopes and I was let down, just like they were each time they didn't meet their dad

'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!

People are being way to harsh on this film. It's an amazing comedy with a powerful message.
