Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco drew upon his own family’s experiences when he created the comedy film “About My Father.” Though the movie is mildly entertaining, material from a comedian’s standup routine does not always translate into big screen hilarity. Maniscalco co-wrote the screenplay with Austen Earl; the director was Laura Terruso.
Sebastian Maniscalco played himself, with Robert De Niro cast as his father. The legendary Oscar winner has proven that he can pull off comedic roles as well as heavy drama; De Niro delivers a good performance here. The supporting cast includes Kim Cattrall, Leslie Bibb, Anders Holm, David Rasche, and Brett Dier.
