Inspired by writer, director, and star James Morosini’s true life experience, I LOVE MY DAD follows Chuck (Patton Oswalt), a hopelessly estranged father who desperately wants to reconnect with his troubled son, Franklin (Morosini). Blocked on social media and concerned for his son’s life, Chuck impersonates a waitress online and starts checking in with Franklin. But things begin to spiral when Franklin falls for this imaginary girl (Claudia Sulewski) and wants nothing more than to meet her in person, as Chuck has inadvertently catfished his own son. A thrilling comedy with an unexpected twist, I LOVE MY DAD also stars Rachel Dratch, Lil Rel Howery, Amy Landecker and Ricky Velez.

– Mark Johnson, AWARDS DAILY -
“This may be the best unofficial sequel to the 2010 documentary ‘Catfish.’”
– Kent Turner, FILM-FORWARD.COM -

“’I Love My Dad’ won the Jury Award at SXSW for Best Narrative Feature. After shrieking, laughing, and, yes, even crying my way through the film, I can see why.”
– Kevin Fallon, THE DAILY BEAST -
“’I Love My Dad’ finds the humor in the situation, mostly due to terrific performances...”
