About My Father starring Sebastian Maniscalco and Robert De Niro is a feel-good comedy about the importance of family that could restart a comedy trend we haven't seen since the '00s. In this autobiographical account loosely based on Maniscalco's relationship with his immigrant father, the comedian plays a fictionalized version of himself as a hotel manager who gets invited to meet his girlfriend's parents at their palatial New England estate. Unfortunately, he feels pressure to bring his father Salvo (De Niro), a Sicilian hairdresser who is known for his off-color sense of humor and blunt commentary.
