PATCHES. I'M DEPENDING ON YOU SON
20 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Boyd (Joel McHale) runs a successful hedge fund in Chicago. He is on the neat and orderly side, raising his children in a slightly sheltered world. His brother Nelson (Clark Duke) has requested he come home to Wisconsin to be the Godparent to the boy that was left to him by his wife and her Latino ballplayer lover. Nelson also suffers from PTSD he got while he was still in training. The rest of the dysfunctional family includes Dad (Robin Williams) who drinks too much and has a rough exterior. There is also his sister Shauna (Wendi McLendon-Covey) who is married to "the pervert" (Tim Heidecker) and blames her mother(Candice Bergen) for her low self esteem. Their kids are unruly too.

The scenes tried to be clever but didn't seem well developed. I would watch something and say, that could be funny, but it really wasn't funny here and now. The film seemed like it was running with a "check engine" light.
