Father of the Year
Available on Netflix
Recent college graduates Ben (Joey Bragg) and Larry (Matt Shively) are on their way to NYC with a brief stop in their small hometown in FATHER OF THE YEAR. Both motherless, they are relentlessly embarrassed and disappointed by their two "unconventional" fathers. Wayne (David Spade doing a variation of his Joe Dirt character), Ben's dad, is an incorrigible drunk, unkempt, unemployed, and proud of it. Larry's father, Mardy (Nat Faxon), is an uptight scientist, cowed by his wife and stepson who make his life miserable. On a whim, the two young men challenge their clueless dads to fight ... which leads to mayhem and chaos. Jobs are threatened. Arrests are made. A marriage falters. And in a series of hometown horrors (including an annual "wife-carrying" contest and a bawdy old lady trying to seduce Larry), along with a resurrected romance, the two friends may not make it to New York after all.
