Warning: Spoilers
I saw About My Father, starring Robert De Niro-The Irishman, Joker; Sebastian Maniscalco-Spinning Gold, The Irishman; Leslie Bibb-No Good Deed, the Iron Man movies; David Rasche-Succession_tv, Sledge Hammer!_tv and Kim Cattrall-Sex and the City_tv, Big trouble in Little China.

This movie showcases Sebastian Maniscalco's humor-he is one of the writers. The movie has no opening credits or even the title of the movie at the beginning-they are both at the end of the film. Robert plays Sebastian's proud Italian father, a still practicing beautician and Leslie plays Sebastian's girlfriend, a struggling artist trying to make it on her own. David and Kim play Leslie's rich parents-they own lots of hotels-who invite everyone to their country house for a 4th of July weekend to get to know each other. Sebastian is terrified that Robert will embarrass him but he also thinks it would be a good time to ask Leslie to marry him. It's a light comedy about cultural clashes and contains lessons of what family means to a person.

It's rated PG-13 for language and sexual content-including partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 29 minutes.

I enjoyed it and it would be a good one to stream.
