Fast forward two years: David is a drooling shell, unable to aim food at his mouth when he’s eating, and speaking in a childlike voice, wondering aloud, “Why can’t both teams win?” while watching a professional football game. Naturally, this puts a tremendous strain on his family. His wife goes back to work, and his constantly-vaping, weed-addicted failson Jacob, who is on on house arrest, becomes David’s full time caretaker.

It will make you tear up during climactic moments of family crisis, but it will also make you feel bad at yourself for laughing hysterically at David’s character’s overwrought and selectively lucid manifestation of Alzheimers. The character of Christine is a Christian movie manic pixie dream girl extraordinaire: a perfectly manicured and plucky street kid who (spoiler alert) does not at all get saved from her plight by the upperclass family of protagonists. The real star of the film, however, is Jacob. He’s never seen without his vape, and he’s constantly battling his role as the Hunter Biden of his squeaky-clean Christian family. He just like me fr!
