SANTA MONICA, CA (June 12, 2023) – Hailed as “the hottest comic in America” by The New York Times, Sebastian Maniscalco’s About My Father arrives on Premium Video on Demand June 16 from Lionsgate. Maniscalco both co-writes and stars in this hilarious comedy about relationships and what it means to be family. Robert De Niro (The Irishman) supports as an outspoken Italian father who joins a weekend getaway with his son’s fiancée’s (Leslie Bibb, Iron Man) family: Anders Holm (TV’s “Workaholics”), Brett Dier (TV’s “Jane the Virgin”), David Rasche (TV’s “Succession”), and Kim Cattrall (TV’s “Sex and the City”). Written by Austen Earl & Sebastian Maniscalco. Directed by Laura Terruso.
Generations collide in this hysterical comedy starring Sebastian Maniscalco and two-time Oscar® winner Robert De Niro (including Best Actor, Raging Bull, 1980). Sebastian (Maniscalco) is encouraged by his fiancée (Leslie Bibb) to bring his Italian hairdresser father Salvo (De Niro) to a weekend get-together to meet her wealthy and eccentric family (Anders Holm, David Rasche, Brett Dier, and Kim Cattrall).
