I Love My Dad

[Opens Aug. 5 in theaters.] James Morosini's award-winning, factually inspired, unsettling, realistic, well-acted, skin-crawling-inducing, star-dotted (Lil Rel Howery, Rachel Dratch, Ricky Velez, and Sarah Helbringer), 96-minute dark comedy in which an estranged, neglectful, lying-prone, promise-breaking, irresponsible, divorced father (Patton Oswalt) in Maine creates a fake online profile account posing as a waitress (Claudia Sulewski) in a desperate attempt to reconnect with his unemployed, mentally-fragile, depressed son (James Morosini), who is in therapy after a suicide attempt and lives with his worried mother (Amy Landecker), when he is blocked on social media and then concocts a foolish catfish scheme that backfires when his son wants to meet the pretty waitress.
