Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This film tells the story of a script writer, whose seems to hot the wall with the women around him.The story is actually quite good. It is interesting to see how inept he is at saying no to his daughter, and also very interesting to see the way John Malkovich's character give him the cold shoulder. There is a tinge of Woody Allen style of sarcasm and neuroticism. I liked the film.

Louis CK's take on social issues the last few years have been a welcome devils advocate to the tidal wave of leftist social marxism and this movie explores that in a refreshing fashion. Humor and comics are the great equalizers in our culture and Louis has risen to fame blending comedy and social commentary perfectlyThe cast in this film is great. Adeline, Falco, Day and especially Malkovich nail their roles and are a great mix of characters and just " works " Definitely a Fellini and Woody Allen tribute with the aesthetic, setting and quirks. The theme of paternal authority and sex create friction throughout his personal life and his daughters life and it really picks up around the half hour mark. Louis's agitated and confused mood works great in his show but became fatiguing at times.One thing I'm noticing is that the editing is taking a huge hit. Its still definitely watchable just not polished to the level of what it could have been. Still some hilarious moments and cuts and an enjoyable two hours. I had an indifferent approach starting this movie and ended up charmed. Ultimately I have seen Louis CK throughout the early 2000's as gaining success from his honesty about the fallacies and shortcomings of being a human being and making light of it through his comedies and honesty. If you enjoyed him before, you will definitely enjoy what he has to say about 2017 through the lens of this movie.

Louis trying to revive the spirit of "Golden Age" cinema with his filmmaking style gives the film a welcome uniqueness, but its appropriateness is kind of questionable. As it usually is with his work (Horace & Pete, Louie), the film gives him a platform to spew out his thoughts and views on the world and society in an entertaining manner. That being said the film lacks a clear message or point. At least it introduces some intriguing well rounded and balanced arguements, discussions on "current" societal issues (weirdly reflecting the reprehensible actions Louis made in his past). Overall, seperating the art from the person behind it, I Love You, Daddy is an original and wothwhile watch just based on its great screenplay and fantastic acting alone. I would recommend seeing it if you get the chance.

So much wasted talent. John Malkovich, Charlie Day, Albert Brooks, Edie Falco, Helen Hunt...no one could save this film. The writing was incredibly poor, especially for Louis C.K.'s standard. The dialogue was jilted. The direction was generic. The music was out of place. The black & white cinematography looked like a bad sitcom trying to do a one-off tribute episode to Children of Paradise. Save yourself the 2 hours and don't bother.
