Story:
Comedy directed by Laura Terruso. About My Father (2023) centers on Sebastian (Sebastian Maniscalco) who is encouraged by his fiancée, Ellie (Leslie Bibb), to bring his immigrant, hairdresser father, Salvo (Robert De Niro), to a weekend get-together with her super-rich and exceedingly eccentric family, Tigger, Lucky, Doug, and Bill (Kim Cattrall, Anders Holm, Brett Dier, and David Rasche). The gathering soon develops into a culture clash, allowing Sebastian and Salvo to discover the true meaning of family.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
Quotes:
Ellie: My parents are inviting us to the summer place for the big Fourth of July weekend.
Sebastian: I can’t leave my father.
Salvo: [to Sebastian] This is the first summer since we had to say goodbye to your dear mother, and you’re going to leave me to burn the sparklers and to eat the hot dogs alone!
Ellie: Why don’t we just bring him?
Sebastian: No. I don’t think so.
Salvo: You hear this? Ladies, he’s worried his immigrant father is going to make him look like some kind of goomba.
Sebastian: Alright. Listen, if we’re going to do this, Dad, you got to dial it down with the…
[Sebastian starts mocking Salvo’s hand gestures]
Ellie: Welcome to White Oak.
Sebastian: Wow. This is amazing.
Salvo: [as Ellie is greeting and hugging her family] Kind of fancy, huh?
Sebastian: It’s called “love and affection”, Dad. Unlike you, when you met me at the delivery room and you chose to shake my hand.
Salvo: What else was I supposed to do? We just met.
Tigger: This is Doug.
Bill: He’s learning to be a healer.
Doug: Hello.
Salvo: What are you doing?
Doug: Just serenading our pet peacock.
Salvo: [referring to Ellie’s family] Sebastian, I don’t know how you’re going to fit in.
Salvo: [referring to Ellie’s family] These people are strange. They have birds for pets.
Ellie: [referring to the peacock] He’s like family.
Salvo: Peacocks are just a bunch of goddamn show-offs, if you ask me.
Salvo: Don’t these people have jobs?
Sebastian: They got their money in the stock market, not the mayonnaise jars buried in their backyard.
Salvo: I just home nothing gets stolen this weekend, because these people love to blame the immigrants.
Sebastian: Hey, Dad! Check it out! I can dive!
Tigger: Oh, my gosh.
Ellie: S**t. Sebastian, your suit!
Sebastian: It’s Versace! Do you like it?
Salvo: No, you moron! It’s not up!
Ellie: [as Sebastian smacks half naked into the boat window] Honey, my mom can’t unsee that.
Sebastian: I was nervous to bring you here. But I didn’t know you were going to spend the whole time embarrassing me.
Salvo: How could you say that to your father? Everything I’m doing for you, that I’ve ever done for you, is for your own good. I’m trying to make sure that you don’t make an a** out of yourself by trying to be somebody you’re not.
Salvo: I would love to make full Italian dinner for everybody.
Tigger: We don’t keep a lot of food here.
Salvo: A Maniscalco always finds a way to feed his family.
Sebastian: My father has an old Italian saying, “Family isn’t one important things. It’s everything.”
Bill: I can’t believe you put this all together from what we have in the kitchen.
Salvo: It’s artichoke and poultry.
Sebastian: You fed them their pet peacock, and you thought I was crazy for worrying that you were going to make us look like some bad Italian stereotype?
Salvo: That’s right. Now, help me get rid of the evidence.
Sebastian: And why does it seem like you’ve done this before?
