I've never been a massive Owen Wilson fan, but here he shows his big brother side and is actually pretty good. Yes ok It's the typical Wilson role, but he brings a little extra to his character that he doesn't usually emote in most of his movies. Ed Helms nails it and is as funny as always. I don't understand the hate surrounding Ed, he's a really funny guy and a talented actor. They both play off each other brilliantly in this movie and I would pay to see more of their comedy pairing. Add in the brilliant Glenn Close, the awesome Christopher Walken, the kickass Ving Rhames and other great cameos and you've got yourself a decent comedy that's worth the £8 at the cinema. Show Give it a chance, I reckon you might enjoy it. And as always, NEVER go and watch a movie with any expectations. That way you will enjoy it more :) Who’s your daddy? That’s what Owen Wilson and Ed Helms are trying to find out in their comedy Father Figures. After learning that their mother (Glenn Close) has been lying to them for years about their allegedly deceased father, the fraternal twin brothers hit the road to find out who their real father is. This R rated comedy ( that was once called Bastards) will serve as Lawrence Sher’s first time directing, but he has served as a cinematographer for The Hangover, Garden State, and Due Date. The film serves as the male spin on Mamma Mia, as they find out Close was giving out a lot of love in the 70’s. Some of the potential candidates include J.K. Simmons, Christopher Walken, and Terry Bradshaw, while Katt Williams plays a hitchhiker. Office Christmas Party scribe Justin Malen penned the script, with the film set for a December 22 release. Watch the trailer below. Helms’s Matt, single and in his mid-40s, will soon become a father via a surrogate, Anna (Patti Harrison). A hit at Sundance, “Together Together” follows this duo through each trimester while giving Helms another comic register. “When I first read the script, I was immediately enchanted (I think that is the right word). I didn’t know what to expect,” Helms, 47, said in a Zoom interview. “I was immediately struck by how simple the story was. And yet at the same time poignant and hilarious. The thing that I was most impressed by is that it never took the turns that I expected. “It was always surprising me! In how these characters were talking to one another and the types of things they were saying and in the sort of narrative twists and turns it never did what I expected it to do. And I loved that. “It’s also,” he added, “a very sort of ambient, peaceful movie. As a comedian, that’s intimidating and a little bit scary. But that’s part of the reason this felt like an exciting challenge.” What’s also exciting is that with Harrison, a trans actress, writer and standup, “Together” marks a historical step forward: She’s the first trans actress to star in a film as a cis character. “For a single cis male like Matt to pursue parenthood through surrogacy, I’m sure it’s out there a lot. But it’s not a story that’s told very often,” Helms said. “I certainly know families that have used surrogates — it’s much more common to see with gay couples. But people, single middle-aged men, who have seen the movie have told me that this is something that they’ve thought about quite a lot. “I think it is something that a lot of people can connect to. Even if it’s just not out there as much.” As for Harrison’s big leap forward, “I can’t speak to what history is or isn’t being made on this movie,” Helms said, “but it certainly is a special moment of trans representation that I just am humbled and proud to be a part of.” As people discover his “definitely more dramatic turn than what people usually expect,” Helms’ hope is, that “I’ve done it justice. I had a ton of fun rising to this challenge. “And I just feel so grateful to Patti for being such an incredible partner in that process and the director, Nikole Beckwith, who just gave us such a perfect creative environment to feel safe and really explore some of these unfamiliar performance areas.”
