3 :watching "Father of Invention"
Facetimed the trailer for this film to my friends Dylan (it's his birthday), Seth and Ant. Looked great to me, Seth seemed like he would rate this 5 stars. Holmes and Watson for Life!

Johnny Knoxville read the script and wondered how he could get hurt as a salesman; he slipped on a wet floor to save an old lady and that's the only reason I gave this movie 2 stars
Finally saw the trailer for this via Eli on FaceTime. Just as epic as I had imagined when I heard him watch it

Thought maybe this could be redeemed by Heather Graham’s character, a lesbian who loves rock band and is hostile towards Kevin Spacey’s character, but then she kisses him on the mouth. Horrendous.
Ouch...
As much as I love and admire Kevin Spacey, he too is just like any other actor when missing a decent screenplay. Try as he might, everything lets him down.
Father of Invention is hopeless thanks to god-awful dialogue, meaningless characters and a story so wafer-thin, it starts to leave the brain whilst you watch.
Definitely a huge misfire.
gays aren’t actually gay & they make it their whole personality, women are crazy, white abusive rich men are the victims :0
This actually made me so fucking pissed off I got a headache from how much I rolled my eyes omfg
It’s a little difficult to sit through a whole Kevin Spacey flick these days, but it can’t be denied that the man can act. I enjoy the looks he gives throughout this with some fun style to his outfits. It’s overall a pretty typical light comedy—predictable and easygoing. A few moments are worth recommending: his discovery of the joys of Rock Band after nearly a decade in prison, his attempt to hang a painting that smashes into the fish tank as soon as he looks at his successful job with satisfaction, and the general premise of having invented something that inadvertently cuts people’s fingers off!
The family drama is alright too, punctuated by some hearty laughs from Craig Robinson. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this as there are many better films of this genre, but if you just want an easy-to-digest comedy, this film is here when you need it.
Needed to watch something dumb to stop myself from refreshing Google every thirty seconds. Alas, Father of Invention didn’t take my mind off the election, but I most definitely enjoyed watching Heather Graham kick Kevin Spacey in the balls!
