The Machine
Bert Kreischer faces a familial crisis and the arrival of his estranged father when the ghost of his booze-soaked past arrives: a murderous mobster hellbent on kidnapping Bert back to the motherland to atone for his crimes. Together, he and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self in the midst of a war between a sociopathic crime family while they attempt to find common ground.

This was surprisingly fun even if it’s equally dumb. Jimmy Tatro as young Bert Kreischer is inspired casting. I think what won me over was when Idina said “Did I do that?” I’m pretty sure I did a spit take. It’s otherwise largely forgettable, but I had an enjoyable drive to our vacation spot. It could be your next decent airplane movie.
