Despite its questionable premise, the movie is a surprisingly heartfelt and hilarious journey if you can bear the idea of your [spoiler]parents cat-fishing you [/spoiler]

The comedic performances by legends Patton Oswalt and Rachel Dratch (of SNL fame) are excellent, and their chemistry is palpable. Together these two can carry the film and at times I wish they did. Oswalt's portrayal of Chuck, a hopelessly estranged and morally bankrupt father, is especially noteworthy. His character's journey is executed with comedic precision and emotional warmth, making it one of the highlights of the movie.

The movie is also introduces the world to James Morosini's directing talents who also is the lead actor (Oswalts seemingly autistic son.) Morosini's direction and storytelling are solid, and the movie is filled with moments of insight, humor, and heart. His acting brings Jake Gyllenhalls Donnie Darko performance to mind (without the bunny rabbits.)

Overall, "I Love My Dad" is a 6.5 film, enjoyable and thought-provoking enough that is sure to entertain. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh, who can endure the cringe factor of watching [spoiler]a son be hoodwinked into loving an internet avatar by his own father, [/spoiler]and to those who are interested in the work of Patton Oswalt and Rachel Dratch.
