Actor Lukas Gage revealed that he feels pressured to label his sexuality.
“An agent that dropped me was like, ‘Stop dyeing your hair, stop wearing weird clothes, and pick a lane: gay, bi, or straight. It’s too confusing,'” he told The New York Times. “I understand representation and voices that need to be heard, but I don’t want to do anything on anyone’s accord but my own.”

“Let me do it when I’m ready. And it’s acting. I feel like everyone should get the opportunity to play whatever they want,” Gage continued. “I’m a pretty open book about most things in my life, but I have a problem with the culture of everyone needing to know everybody’s business and nothing can be sacred. It’s a weird line that I’m still trying to figure out.”

Billie Eilish and boyfriend Jesse Rutherford had a sweet date night at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on March 12. The couple attended the annual afterparty for the first time, holding hands and sharing loving glances as they posed together on the red carpet in Beverly Hills. Eilish, 21, commanded attention in a black Rick Owens gown with a voluminous tulle skirt, while Rutherford, 31, wore a black suit and clown makeup. Inside the celebration, they linked up with Eilish's brother Finneas and his girlfriend, Claudia Sulewski, along with other stars like Regé-Jean Page, Sofia Carson, and Phoebe Tonkin.
Eilish, who won an Oscar for her and Finneas's song "No Time to Die" last year, has been linked to Rutherford since they were spotted kissing in October. She seemingly confirmed their relationship on Nov. 1 with an Instagram photo of their coordinating Halloween costumes, and they soon after made their red carpet debut in...

Patton Oswalt devises an ill-advised plan to win over his son in an inspired film that plumbs new depths of embarrassment
An excruciatingly heartfelt performance from Patton Oswalt carries this high-concept indie picture from writer-director James Morosini. It’s a film that genuinely does take the comedy of embarrassment to a new level. Morosini says that it’s based on a real incident in his own life; I can believe it. You couldn’t make it up. There is a stranger-than-fiction authenticity to the whole horrifying mess, in which Morosini cleverly uses real home-movie footage of his own childhood. The final 15 minutes have to be watched through your fingers.
Oswalt plays a well-meaning but weak and foolish guy called Chuck who has been a terrible husband (he’s now divorced) and a terrible deadbeat dad, having let his son down all his life. The son is twentysomething Franklin, played by Morosini,...

In recent years, the major Hollywood studios have been taking fewer chances on straight-up comedies, which is a bit of a bummer. The days of movies like "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Superbad," "Bridesmaids," and "The Hangover" making bank at the box office are behind us, and many comedies have been relegated to streaming services unless they happen to offer cross-genre laughs mixed with sci-fi, action, or horror. In fact, most of the highest-grossing comedies overall are animated movies geared toward the whole family. But many of the best comedies dabble in the naughtier side of humor and skew away from pleasing parents and their kids.
When it comes to 2022, many of the best comedies leaned toward adult laughs, but there are a few titles that managed to be quite clever without venturing into the realm of raunchier fare. Whether it's a boxy makeshift robot rebelling against his reclusive creator,...

Have you ever catfished your own kid for love? As preposterous as the idea sounds, that's precisely at the heart of the Patton Oswalt film "I Love My Dad," which won the Audience Award and Grand Jury Award at this year's SXSW film festival.
Inspired by the real-life experience with writer/director/star James Morosini's own father, "I Love My Dad" sees Oswalt as a deadbeat dad named Chuck who has fallen out of touch with his son Franklin (Morosini) since divorcing his mother (Amy Landecker). Chuck's idea of "fatherhood" is building an empire of excuses, sad voicemails, and canceled plans, in addition to some phoned-in social media interactions. The situation is so grim, Franklin almost dies by suicide, but thankfully survives and is put in a rehabilitation center.
Upon release, Franklin feels empowered to set strict boundaries with his father, as the constant disappointment is at the core...

Finneas says he’s thankful to be alive. The musician and record producer revealed on Thursday that he’s recovering after suffering major injuries due to an accident on his electric bike.
“Last Friday, I had the pleasure of crashing my electric bike, flying over the handlebars and absolutely demolishing my collarbone as well as sustaining a radial head fracture to my right elbow,” Finneas wrote, alongside an x-ray image of his shattered collarbone.
“The severity of the displacement of my collarbone meant I required surgery which I am now on the other side of and I’m feeling great!” he continued. “I want to give an enormous thank you to Dr. Brian Lee who performed the surgery, Dr. Neal Elattrache and everyone at Kerlan Jobe for their incredible treatment I feel so privileged to have received.”

When I watch horror films, I always where a scarf. I wrap it around my neck tightly for comfort. As the time drags on, and the tension mounts through fright, I bring the scarf up further upon my face. To shield myself from the horrors, see, and to make sure I am not overcome from fright. If a horror film is truly exceptional, my face would be buried in garment, with only my eyes peaking from its refuge.
I speak about the scarf for I Love My Dad because I spent a lot of time hiding behind the fabric. For it may not be a horror, but it is no less horrifying.
Inspired by director, writer, and star James Morosini’s very true story, I Love My Dad revolves around Franklin, a young man who is struggling with his own mental health troubles. On the road to recovery, he blocks...

One of the annoyances of social media is when your online friends inform you that you’ve been hacked (somebody claiming to be you) on the most popular ‘social network” website. So contacting your friend list or sending out a “blanket warning” is aggravating, but things could be much worse. Nighttime crime TV shows and daytime talk shows are filled with tales of “spoofed” profiles, often leading to money “scams” and sometimes even murder. And the movies have tackled it, most prominently in 2010 with Catfish which inspired an MTV docuseries a couple of years later and perhaps, added a new verb “catfishing”, creating a false identity to deceive someone online, into popular discussion, This week sees another feature film exploring that subject, but it’s not a documentary. Rather it’s a comedy that somehow is based on an actual incident that happened to the film’s star/writer/director.

“I Love My Dad” director, writer and star James Morosini kiss and tells about how he prepared for his bizarre makeout scenes with co-star Patton Oswalt.
“We made out a lot ahead of time,” Morosini, who plays Oswalt’s son Franklin, told Variety jokingly at the premiere of “I Love My Dad” at the Largo at the Coronet on Thursday night. “He’s a phenomenal kisser. I hope everyone has the opportunity to make out with Patton Oswalt.”
Based on Morosini’s own true experience of being catfished by his dad, the new indie comedy stars Patton Oswalt as Chuck, a father who desperately tries to stay connected with his estranged son by posing as a woman online named Becca (Claudia Sulewski). During a scene where Franklin (Morosini) asks “Becca” if he can pretend to kiss her through their messages, Chuck pictures the disturbing scenario of his son actually making...

On paper, the premise for I Love My Dad is not only ambitious but outright cringe. Inspired by a real experience from writer, director and star James Morosini, the film follows a desperate father (Patton Oswalt) who accidentally pulls off the catfish of the century, as he pretends to be someone else online in order to check in and be close to his estranged son Franklin (Morosini).
“I’m going to be honest with you, I didn’t know if this would work until I actually saw it in front of an audience,” Oswalt told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s West Hollywood premiere on Thursday. “I liked watching it by myself, but it’s not until you get in front of a group of people and [can] listen to people. Yes, they laugh, but then also, [they] kind of grimace and cringe, and...

If an episode of “Seinfeld” got struck by gamma radiation, hulked out and wandered into the world by its tragic, bizarre self, it might look a little like writer-director James Morosini’s “I Love My Dad.”
It’s a film about someone who, for perhaps sympathetic reasons, does an apocalyptically wrong thing and then can’t stop doing it. Because revealing you’re a liar is very hard, and living a horrible lie seems ever so slightly easier.
Patton Oswalt stars as Chuck, a divorced dad who, instead of being part of his son’s life, spends years making excuses for not showing up. We hear a lot of these excuses over the opening credits, but we don’t see the impact it has on his son, Franklin (Morosini), until just after the end of the titles, where we find Franklin in group therapy for people who have attempted to kill themselves.

James Morosini really does love his dad, and he proves it when his father calls in the midst of our conversation. Morosini takes the call and explains he’s on an interview. “I’ll call you back,” the younger Morosini says before adding: “Love you.”
The complicated father-son relationship inspired Morosini’s acclaimed new film, “I Love My Dad,” which hits theaters this week and arrives on VOD Aug. 12 after winning both the grand jury prize and audience award at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival. Patton Oswalt stars as Chuck, a man who is cut off by his son Franklin (played by Morosini) and creates a social media profile based on a waitress he knows, Becca (Claudia Sulewski.) Though Chuck is just trying to connect with Franklin, his son ends up falling hard for Becca – and Chuck goes to increasingly elaborate lengths to keep up the ruse.

Patton Oswalt knew early on that his latest movie “I Love My Dad,” which involves him playing a father who inadvertently catfishes his estranged son, had the potential to not “just be a bad movie,” but to be “a fiasco.”
“We’re going to shoot for something, and it’s going to either completely work or… wow,” the comedian told TheWrap in a recent interview. “This movie had a script that had so many scenes in it that when I read them, I was like, how are they going to pull that [off]? This could go wrong in so many ways. I’ve never seen anything like this in a film that they’re attempting this.”
Fortunately for Oswalt and director and writer James Morosini, the cringey yet comedic film won the top prize at the SXSW Film Festival, where Oswalt got the chance to simply watch “people crawl out of their skin.

Magnolia Pictures will release I Love My Dad in theaters this Friday, August 5 and On Demand August 12 and today they dropped a new trailer for the film.
I Love My Dad had its World Premiere at SXSW 2022 to incredible praise from both fans and critics alike, winning both the Narrative Feature Grand Jury Award and Audience Award.
Inspired by writer, director, and star James Morosini’s true life experience, I Love My Dad follows Chuck (Patton Oswalt), a hopelessly estranged father who desperately wants to reconnect with his troubled son, Franklin (Morosini). Blocked on social media and concerned for his son’s life, Chuck impersonates a waitress online and starts checking in with Franklin.

Written, directed, and led by James Morosini based on his own experiences, I Love My Dad was a cringe comedy hit at SXSW earlier this year and now it’s set to arrive in next month. Also starring Patton Oswalt, he plays a hopelessly estranged father who desperately wants to reconnect with his troubled son, Franklin (Morosini), eventually leading him to an inadvertent catfishing adventure. Ahead of a release, the first trailer has now arrived.
John Fink said in his review, “Along the way I Love You Dad strikes a unique tone that is at times hilariously cringe-inducing, while also building some empathy for the psychopathic tendencies of Chuck. Franklin is played with extreme vulnerability by Morosini, who in the credits swears this is a true story his father doesn’t want you to know is a true story.

"Keep your expectations low - she could be, like mean, or a scammer, or... your Dad?!?!" Magnolia has released the full-length main trailer for I Love My Dad, a totally nuts new comedy from filmmaker / actor James Morosini. This premiered at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, where it won both the Grand Jury Award and Audience Award. The concept alone is hilarious, but seeing how far they take it in this trailer is what makes it a winner. Or a loser...? Based on an actual true story. After Franklin blocks his father Chuck on social media, Chuck "catfishes" his son by pretending to be a girl named Becca online. He then agrees to drive Franklin to Maine to meet Becca, knowing that it might be the last straw in their father-son relationship. Starring Patton Oswalt, James Morosini, Claudia Sulewski, with Lil Rel Howery and Amy Landecker. This is such a cheesy trailer,...

Well, this is a doozy of a take on “How I Met Your Father.”
SXSW Grand Jury Prize winner “I Love My Dad” stars Patton Oswalt as Chuck, a desperate father looking to reconnect with his estranged son Franklin, played by writer/director James Morosini. Chuck impersonates a waitress (Claudia Sulewski) online to strike up a relationship with a depressive Franklin, who has blocked Chuck on all forms of social media. The only issue? Well, Franklin metaphorically swiped right on Chuck’s alter ego.
Per an official synopsis, “Things begin to spiral when Franklin falls for this imaginary girl and wants nothing more than to meet her in person, as Chuck has inadvertently catfished his own son.”
“The Sex Lives of College Girls” and “American Horror Story” alum Morosini wrote the screenplay based on his own real family experience.

The cringiest comedy of the year may be “I Love My Dad,” a film in which Patton Oswalt plays an estranged dad who catfishes his own son in order to desperately reconnect with him. And stranger yet is the fact that the story is based on something that really happened to the film’s writer, director and star.
“I Love My Dad” was written, directed and stars James Morosini, who in the film plays Franklin, a 20-something coping with his own mental health who takes the step of blocking his father’s contact after years of being absent and broken promises.
But his father Chuck (Oswalt) still has good intentions and comes up with the idea to impersonate a waitress online in order to stay in touch, only to inadvertently start a romantic online relationship with him.

Comedian Patton Oswalt stars alongside James Morosini in the South by Southwest Winner “I Love My Dad.” Morosini most recently starred in “Sex Lives for College Girls,” but in his latest project, the actor wrote, directed and stars in the feature.
“I Love My Dad,” is inspired by James Morosini’s real-life relationship with his father. Morosini’s character, Franklin, and his estranged father, Chuck’s (Oswalt) attempt to reconnect with Franklin. As seen in the trailer, the film shows precisely how far Chuck will go to connect with his son after being blocked on social media. Chuck takes matters into his own hands and impersonates a young woman to check in on Franklin. However, things take a turn when Franklin falls for this imaginary woman (Claudia Sulewski). After Chuck inadvertently catfishes his son, he attempts to deter his son from wanting to meet him (but really “her”) in real life.

Magnolia Pictures has acquired North American rights to “I Love My Dad,” one of the biggest breakouts from this year’s SXSW.
Critics loved “I Love My Dad” reserving particular praise for the direction of James Morosini and for Patton Oswalt’s lead performance. The movie, which won the Grand Jury Prize for Narrative Feature as well as the Narrative Feature Competition Audience Award at the festival, certainly gets points for originality. It follows a young man (Morosini) who is catfished by his hopelessly estranged father (Oswalt) in a desperate attempt to reconnect. Blocked on social media and concerned for his son’s life, Oswalt’s character impersonates a waitress online and starts checking in with his son. But things begin to spiral out of control when the son falls for this imaginary girl (Claudia Sulewski) and wants nothing more than to meet her in person.

Inspired by actual events, I Love My Dad contains a cringe-worthy premise that should easily fall apart, as Franklin (James Morosini), a young-ish man, should have grown up with an awareness of the term “catfishing.” If a pretty girl with no friends starts talking to you on Facebook that should be an immediate red flag, but the emotionally vulnerable Franklin is willing to suspend disbelief and go with the flow.
Written and directed by Morosini, I Love My Dad follows Franklin and his father Chuck (Patton Oswalt), the kind of emotionally and physically distant dad who means well but ultimately is bad for Franklin’s mental health. Seeking help, Franklin (who exists in a state of emerging adolescence) lives at home with his protective mother Diane (Amy Landecker). Blocking dad from social media forces Chuck to get creative, and he adopts the online persona of Becca, replicating the profile of...

Following in the deranged footsteps of Bobcat Goldthwait’s “World’s Greatest Dad” — and making good on that lineage in all of the most cringe-inducing ways — . The premise couldn’t be simpler: A clinically depressed twentysomething named Franklin (played by the writer-director himself) emerges from his latest stint in a mental health facility with a new resolve to cut ties with his toxic fuck-up of a father, Chuck (Patton Oswalt). Upon discovering that his son has blocked him on social media, a desperate Chuck decides to catfish his own kid with the fake profile he creates around pictures of a beautiful waitress who works at his local diner (Claudia Sulewski).

This is a slick comedy of discomfort, some of it quite extreme, and the prime instigator is Oswalt’s Chuck, a middle-aged, out-of-shape, fast-talking screw-up who has not exactly provided a swell role model for his son Franklin (Morosini). Time-outs are usually assigned to children, but in this family’s case the culprit is invariably the dad, a fast-talker and videogame freak who’s always full of excuses as to why...
