Ufakwe ngubuhlanya obungonakalisiwe, Wozani kuBaba ukuhamba okushintshashintshayo, okuvame ukushaqisa, futhi ngokumangazayo. Ifakwe ngemibukiso yezinkanyezi evela kubalingisi bayo abaphambili (kanye nokuthi "le ndlu iyisakhiwo sayo uqobo"), ifilimu ikukhukhula ngenkungu ye-madcap yobukhulu bendoda. Ishayisa phezu kwakho, ihamba ngesivinini sendlela enamagagasi futhi eyingozi, futhi awukwazi ukubheka eceleni.

Wozani kuBaba isici sokuqala sika-Ant Timpson sokuqondisa ifilimu, futhi uqala ngamandla. Udabuka eNew Zealand, uTimpson usebenze njengomdidiyeli kumafilimu athile amnandi - kufaka phakathi I-Deathgasm, Indlu, futhi turbo ngane - futhi uletha leyo charm ye-quirky Kiwi yamahlaya kule ndaba emnyama, esontekile yokuhlangana kwendodana nendodana.  

Ibhalwe nguToby Harvard futhi isuselwa emcabangweni kaTimpson, le filimu ilandela uNorval Greenwood, ingane eyindoda enelungelo, njengoba efika egumbini elihle futhi elikude lasogwini lukayise ohlukanisile. Ngokushesha uthola ukuthi ubaba akahluphi nje kuphela, kodwa futhi unokudlula kwesikhathi okunomthunzi okujaha ukuhlangana nabo bobabili. Manje, amakhulu amakhilomitha ukusuka endaweni yakhe enethezekile, uNorval kufanele alwe namademoni, angokoqobo futhi abonwayo, ukuze akwazi ukuxhumana nobaba angamazi nhlobo.

Ifilimu iqala ngokuhlola ngokucophelela ubudlelwano obungebuhle phakathi kukaNorval nobaba wakhe osekude kakhulu, uBrian, ngaphambi kochungechunge lokuqopha imicimbi luphonsela uNorval ompofu kwi-blender of shit embi. Simlandela phakathi nezinxushunxushu njengoba ephonswa ngokujulileyo ekujuleni kwakhe. 

Kudlalwa ngu-Elijah Wood othandekayo (Maniac, INkosi Yezindandatho), UNorval - ekuqaleni - uhlobo lwe-weenie. Ungumlando weminyaka eyinkulungwane wokugcina we-hipster ngokukhuliswa kwakhe eBeverly Hills, uhlelo olulinganiselwe lwe-iPhone efakwe ngegolide, "umsebenzi womculo", nezindaba eziphakeme zamabhulashi akhe asondele kakhulu futhi anedumela. Muhle futhi akavikelekile, kepha awukwazi ukusiza kepha ukhiye ishiya kukho konke ukuziqhayisa okuthobekile. 

Lapho i-shit isishaya umlandeli oyisaga, uNorval uphoqeleka ukuthi asukume ngendlela enkulu kakhulu, futhi kulula kakhulu ukuzwelana nosizi lwakhe. UWood ubuthutha ngokuphelele ubumsulwa bamehlo abanzi obenza uNorval abe ngumlingiswa onozwela. 

Uzakwabo kayise, uSteven McHattie (I-Pontypool, i-300), ubeka ama-barbs anonya ngamazinyo ahlanganisiwe. Abalingani kahle, okwenza ukuhlangana kwabo kucindezeleke kakhulu. Khonamanjalo, uMichael Smiley (Bulala Uhlu) amaslayidi angena ngokusebenza okujabulisayo okuntshontsha indawo ngayinye ngesandla esinamafutha.

Ngenkathi Wozani kuBaba impela iya… izikhombisi-ndlela eziningi ezahlukahlukene, igxile ngokuqinile ebudlelwaneni obubi phakathi kukababa ohlukanisile nendodana enesifiso. UNorval useshela noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuxhumana angalwenza noyise ngemuva kokulahleka kokuphila konke. 

Kepha njengoba isisindo njengoba lelo phuzu lesakhiwo linjalo, Wozani kuBaba ayihambisani ngokuphelele nengcindezi yayo. Kukhona ukuhlekisa okumnyama okujojowe kuyo yonke indawo, kuqeda ukungezwani nobudlova obunodlame. 

UTimpson akazibambi ngalezi zingoma; badonsa ngonya olumangazayo kangangokuba awukwazi ukuzibamba kodwa uhleke. Konke kusekelwe ngendaba elula, eqondile eqondisa ithoni eguqukayo yefilimu. Amaphuzu - aqanjwe ngumculi waseNew Zealand uKarl Steven - awahlanganisa wonke. Ukulandela ukwakha kwayo okungenangqondo, Wozani kuBaba yenza isisindo sayo esigcwele ngokomzwelo ngezikhathi zokugcina zefilimu, futhi kuyinothi elimangalisayo elimangalisayo lokugcina. 

Ngemuva kwalolo hambo lwasendle lonke, sikhunjuzwa ngomqondo wefilimu. Ubudlelwano obuphakathi kukababa nendodana, futhi uma - sebuphelile - leso sibopho singalungiswa. Ungahamba ubude obunjani emndenini wakho? Kukushintsha kanjani? Sigcwele ingubo yamahlaya emangazayo ngokumangazayo, kunenhliziyo yangempela nejulile yomuntu kule filimu ehambisana nokwethembeka okungokomzwelo. 

Wozani kuBaba ikudonsela ngaphakathi ngokuqina kwayo, inyonyoba ngezibhakela ezilimbili ezikulahlela ngaphambi kokukuqhumisa endaweni entsha eshaqisayo. Kuyisithokozisi esiqinisekile somlilo - ukuhlanya okumsulwa kwamabili phakathi kwamabili - futhi impela kuyinto ekhumbulekayo. Kumele wamukele isimemo.
