    • Trivia
      The logline for the film includes the phrase "Inspired by a true story. Like, this literally happened to me." Written by, directed by and starring James Morosini, it's based on something that actually happened between the filmmaker and his father.
    • Goofs
      During one of the first scenes on Franklin & Chuck's trip from Massachusetts to Maine, the license plate on Chuck's car switches from Maine (where his character lives) to New York (where the film was shot), and then back again for the remainder of the film.
    • Quotes

      Chuck: I'm doing this to help him.

      Jimmy: He thinks he's in a relationship.

      Chuck: Yeah we talk about life and stuff. Its not like I'm trying to see his dick.

      Jimmy: Oh come on now I don't wanna hear about your boy's dick. That's your son's dick you're talking about.

      Chuck: I said I'm not trying to.

    Fun premise, pretty funny
    I Love My Dad is an enjoyable movie. The fun premise is used in creative ways. I laughed a good amount, although there were a few very unfunny parts. I like the story and there are some solid performances. I had a good time with this one-time-viewing type of movie. (1 viewing, 8/10/2022)
