ACOD is a 2013 comedy movie directed by Stu Zicherman and starring Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins, and Catherine O'Hara.
The film tells the story of the protagonist who is in a mess in the face of a family accident and meets a woman who is truly destined.
The content of the comedy movie story is probably about a child whose parents divorced at a young age and who had to face the shadow of this childhood again when he grew up.
The comedy movie story begins on Carter's ninth birthday. In Carter's favorite lakeside cottage when he was a child, accompanied by Carter's favorite friends, Carter, who was about to blow out candles, heard a quarrel not far away. Carter's father cheated and his parents were arguing fiercely, which was captured on camera forever, with his best friends beside him, and in front of him a delicious birthday cake with a nine-year-old candle, not far away As his parents got closer and the argument became more intense, Carter's mother had to call the police. This unforgettable birthday became an eternal pain in Carter's heart, and he never came to this place again for more than 20 years.
More than 20 years later, Carter's younger brother Trey is getting married. He wants his parents to show up at his wedding at the same time. After he told Carter about it, he was met with fierce opposition from Carter. For more than 20 years, their parents They never appeared at the same time, because once they appeared, the scene would be uncontrollable. Whether it's a holiday, a graduation ceremony, or a funeral. Trey said that only Carter can make his parents appear at the same time. The stronger Carter had to come forward to communicate with his parents for the wedding of his only younger brother.
This comedy movie is a good example of how parents who neglect their children hurt their own children. Carter has been a child with a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem since he was a child. Facing a series of problems such as parental derailment, mutual slander and attack, domestic violence, emotional manipulation, and strange family relationships, Carter has been deeply hurt and at the same time very well. He stood up by himself, his long-cherished hope was to grow up and leave such a family, he did it, and he became a successful man, mature, and tolerant, and he also protected his younger brother very well and made his own The younger brother is protected from harm, so Trey, when he grows up, is so carefree, innocent, innocent, impulsive, and dependent on his brother, living in his brother's garage but ready to meet the four months old. girl's wedding. Carter did protect his younger brother, but he was hurt a lot by his parent's failed marriage, and after 4 years with Lauren, he still couldn't believe in marriage. I think the final expression of the film is that Carter can finally face everything and walk into the wedding hall.
The movie's costumes and music are all in place, and Carter went from being a successful man in a suit and tie at the beginning, to a man who only wears casual clothes after losing the restaurant. And Carter's parents are always dressed up, and Carter's younger brother is always plain. The music is always on while Carter is contemplating.
This comedy movie is not a very hilarious comedy, it is not very funny, but it is suitable for single parents or children who are hurt by their parents.
The understanding of the comedy movie is that if you can, please face it calmly, after all, Carter has spent twenty years telling us that waiting and running away does not solve problems.
