The Thing About My Folks

There are a few good moments in this schmaltzfest, but on the whole it’s a pretty painful affair. Paul Reiser plays the adult son of a man who could not show love (Peter Falk). The two of them go on a road trip together where they laugh, and learn, and live. And love. Because that’s what was missing. The love. Falk is fun as usual, and Reiser is atrocious and annoying as usual, but the real star of this film is the love. So. Much. Love.
