Actor Robert De Niro stars in the film titled "And then there was Dad"
Get ready for a heartwarming and humorous journey as ARD's Summer Cinema series presents the new comedy "And Then Came Dad," airing on August 4 at 8:15 PM.
The film stars Sebastian Maniscalco as Sebastian, a passionate independent hairdresser and Salvo's son. Maniscalco's character is based on the comedian's own life story, exploring shared experiences of strivers.
Robert De Niro plays Salvo, an Italian father with stern beliefs and strict principles who immigrated to America from Sicily. De Niro's casting as the father in "And Then Came Dad" is perfect and serves as the film's driving force, with a similarity to his role in "Meet the Parents" (2000). Salvo embodies traditional values and teaches his son the importance of hard work for success.
Sebastian's girlfriend Ellie, played by an as-yet-unspecified actress, is an artist and comes from a lineage of hoteliers. Ellie's family will be met by Salvo when he accompanies Sebastian to meet them for a marriage proposal, adding another layer of complexity to the story.
The comedy features a light-hearted narrative of an eccentric immigrant father clinging to his cultural and educational principles versus a wealthy, detached American family living the American Dream. Tigger, played by Kim Cattrall, and Bill, played by David Rasche, are the wealthy, American, and conservative parents in the film.
"And Then Came Dad" also stars Sebastian Maniscalco, who previously worked with De Niro in "The Irishman." Maniscalco co-wrote the script for "And Then Came Dad" with Austen Earl.
The film emphasizes the importance of family despite its difficulties and embarrassments. It's a must-watch for those who appreciate a good laugh and a touching story about the ties that bind us.
