Movie: The Thing About My Folks


A while back I saw an interview with Paul Reiser about this movie, and when I saw it at the library the other day I thought it might be enjoyable to watch. The movie stars Peter Falk, Paul Reiser, Olympia Dukakis, and Elizabeth Perkins, and is essentially the story of a father and son. They are on a spur of the moment road trip and are hashing out together the reasons why the mother has just left the father. At the same time they are doing some of the father/son things they never did when the son was young. It's not a fast paced movie, but it is very funny and thought provoking, too. Worth watching, I think.
