I wasn’t sure renting “Brad’s Status” was a good idea. Throughout 2017, I’d seen the trailer probably a dozen times prior to watching other films (films I chose to watch instead of “Brad’s Status”). And the trailer kinda overshares: Somewhat estranged dad takes son on college visits, possibly heartwarming hijinks ensure, yada, yada, yada. Another forgettable Ben Stiller vehicle. Anyway, it turns out it’s even worse than I thought. In fact, there’s a scene in the middle of the film where a character basically tells Stiller to get over himself, thus bringing into question why the film exists at all.
