The Thing About My Folks (2005)

Ben's dad Sam shows up one night with a note from Ben's mother (Sam's wife of 46 years), that she has left. While Ben's wife and his three sisters try to find her, Ben takes Sam on a day trip to see a farmhouse that's for sale. The day trip turns into a road trip while dad and son explore their past, their relationship, and why Sam's wife might have left him. The road trip includes fishing, drinking, playing pool, sleeping under the stars, and frank discussion. Anger simmers close at hand, as do love and hope. Where Sam's wife is - and why she left - leads to the movie's resolution.

Felitta and Reiser mean nothing but well with this project, but too many lines sound fraudulent, and Reiser, it must be said, is a hopeless ham in the reaction shot department.

"The Thing About," though a bit drawn out in the middle, and laced with cute notes like Faulk's uncontrolled farting, was extremely real for me. It had some provocative turns in Reiser's and Faulk's preconceptions about the Folk's marriage relationship. My own attempt to bond with my father in his last years despite the horrible years of growing up and feeling the fallout from my parents' marriage. I loved this movie while my friend thought it schmaltzy. It either resonates or it doesn't.

Good-natured but only memorable as a platform for the amusingly feisty Peter Falk, The Thing About My Folks plies a light approach to the problems grown children face when their parents appear on the verge of divorce.

Flirts bravely, though gratingly, with messy, complicated emotions before ultimately drowning them in a warm bath of sticky sentimentality.

Janet Maslin 03 Aug 2016

Despite the grumpy, flatulent behavior the script demands of him, Mr. Falk rises above the treacly shenanigans.
