“The tagline for the new Kevin Spacey comedy Father of Invention reads, “A world of ideas, A world of problems,” which rather efficiently sums up the quality of the film as a whole. Unforgivably predictable, an uneven tone, and stereotypically exaggerated supporting characters aped across the screen like a parade of baboons, positions this film as one of the worst father-daughter cautionary/sappy-on-the-back-end tales you’ll most likely stumble upon this year.”
