Review of Father of Invention (2010) by Fritzmichel G — 10 Nov 2011
Cast:Kevin Spacey, Camilla Belle, Heather Graham, Virginia Madsen, John Stamos, Michael Rosenbaum, Johnny Knoxville, Craig Robinson, Rhoda Griffis, Anna Anissimova.
Director:Trent Cooper.
Summary: Robert Axle (Kevin Spacey) is a humble, if eccentric, genius whose flair for invention catapults him to fame, fortune and insufferable egomania, until a terrible incident involving one of his creations brings him crashing back to earth and into prison. Nearly a decade later, Axle is released, and he's determined to rehabilitate his reputation and rebuild his fortune. First, he has to convince his daughter that he's worthy of a second chance.
My Thoughts: "A nice daughter and father dramedy. Not the best I've seen come from Kevin Spacey, but being a huge fan I'm down to watch anything he is in. I thought he did great with the material he was given. The relationship between Robert Axle and his daughter Claire is rough but has it's sweet spots. I actually really liked Heather Graham in the movie. She was very funny. Johnny Knoxville does great playing Oswald, a bit of an annoying character, but yet funny as well. Truthfully the movie really wasn't that funny, it was more of a drama to me, but it had it's moments. Worth seeing at least once.".
