Movie premieres mark the beginning of summer, conclusively interrupted by a father's arrival.
In the heartwarming comedy, "And Then Came Dad", set to be released in 2023, Sebastian Maniscalco and Robert De Niro star in a tale that explores the complexities of family relationships.
Sebastian, played by Maniscalco, is a hotel manager who is engaged to Ellie, a wealthy and established member of a hotelier dynasty. As the story unfolds, Ellie encourages Sebastian to bring her traditional Italian immigrant father, Salvo, played by De Niro, to a weekend family gathering.
Salvo, a hairstylist and barber from a small town, has achieved modest wealth and is not impressed by the grand lifestyle of Sebastian's future in-laws. His traditional perspective and humour provide the backbone for the film's comedic moments.
As the weekend progresses, the intergenerational and cultural interactions within the family lead to a series of humorous and heartfelt moments. Sebastian's father, Salvo, seems to be attempting to sabotage the union of the two families, leading to a comedic cultural clash.
The film, directed by Laura Terruso, also stars Kim Cattrall as Tigger, Ellie's mother, and Anders Holm as Lucky, among others. The cast also includes Robert De Niro, Leslie Bibb, and David Rasche.
"And Then Came Dad" is a 90-minute comedy, rated FSK 6, suitable for children aged 6 and above. The film is set to be available until 01.09.2025.
Throughout the film, Ellie comes to realise what made her future father-in-law a childhood hero, and Sebastian learns the value of family relationships. This heartwarming comedy is a must-watch for audiences seeking a light-hearted exploration of family dynamics.
Other entertainment options like movies-and-tv shows may not offer the same heartwarming exploration of family dynamics that "And Then Came Dad" does. In this film, Robert De Niro's character, Salvo, brings a unique traditional perspective and humor thatsets it apart from others in the genre.
