Father Figures Blu-ray Review

Score: 62

from 5 reviewers

Review Date:

Father Figures boasts solid technical specs and a talented cast, but its lack of heart and reliance on safe, forgettable humor make it a rental at best.

Video: 80

Father Figures' 1080p AVC-encoded Blu-ray presents a sharp, clear, and well-balanced visual experience, with warm, vibrant colors, solid blacks, and excellent contrast. The film excels in detail and delineation, making both bright and dark scenes visually satisfying despite some softness on larger screens.

Audio: 73

The DTS-HD MA 5.1 track for 'Father Figures' delivers clear dialogue and effective, if not exceptional, use of surrounds and LFE, aligning perfectly with typical comedy audio expectations for a solid and reliable experience.

Extra: 23

The Blu-ray extras for 'Father Figures' feature ten disposable deleted scenes (HD, 21:09) that add little value and a mildly amusing gag reel (HD, 4:26) showcasing typical on-set gaffes. Additionally, the disc begins with skippable trailers for other films, and includes a standard definition DVD and a digital HD copy.

Movie: 39

Despite a star-studded cast, 'Father Figures' struggles with tonal inconsistency, lackluster humor, and a formulaic plot, failing to achieve memorable or compelling comedic chemistry between Ed Helms and Owen Wilson, while relying heavily on cheap laughs and predictable story beats.
