What I liked

How honest Dooley is as he bares his soul amidst the comedy. His accounts of fatherhood are particularly touching and bring an unexpected depth to this funny show that incorporates a variety of comedy styles from standup to vaudevillian sketch, from silly puns to deadpan zingers.

My overall impression

A clear labor of love that artfully blends humor and pathos, this “movie dad” explores what it means to carve out an identity for oneself both on screen and off.
