This was not a bad movie, but it was not a great movie. It was very low budget. If you have watched any Michael Jr. Standup, or have seen him, that is all this movie is. It is just a showcase for his standup, not a great message or anything.

Plot summary
Spiraling into a mid-life crisis and feeling disconnected from his family, reality-TV editor Ben Marcus thinks he can only be happy by fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional comedian. He posts his stand-up routines to YouTube, and the videos fall flat. Then his tween son posts Ben miserably failing on a house-improvement project, and much to his teenage daughter's dismay, it goes viral, launching Ben's social-media career as Selfie Dad. Although he quickly becomes an award-winning phenom, no amount of success brings Ben satisfaction. Through his friendship with young coworker Mickey, Ben finds the secret to a happy family--with his Bible in one hand, and his phone in the other.

Of Course a Good Message, but Just another Michael Jr. video
A comedy without any humor...
Right, well as I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Selfie Dad", I must admit that I was expecting a comedy.
However, not even a single smile, much less any actual laughs managed to come from watching this movie. This was a massive swing and a miss, and I can in all honesty say that I was not entertained by the storyline presented in "Selfie Dad", as written and directed by Brad J. Silverman.
I have zero interest in the ludicrous desire some people have to film themselves and upload to platforms such a YouTube and such. I just don't get it. What is the whole point of it? Narcissism at its finest, pure and simple. And since I have no interest in the people doing this, and thus doesn't watch their YouTube channels and such, then watching a movie about it sure didn't make for proper entertainment.
The storyline in "Selfie Dad" was just a swing and a miss in terms of providing proper entertainment. And the fact that the story was so immensely slow-paced just prolonged the suffering of watching the movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate for the most parts, though this is hardly a movie that boasts stellar performances.
My rating of "Selfie Dad" lands on a three out of ten stars. Not for the story, not for the acting, but for the production value and editing, pure and simple.
Good, Clean Family Movie!
I was surprised by, and enjoyed this movie. I actually cried during the last ten minutes because I recently lost my own father in April of this year. Watching this movie reminded me of the conversations we aren't going to have anymore. It is a feel good movie though, considering all that we have going on in the world right now. I was able to literally get away, be encouraged, and entertained for a little while. I would encourage you to watch this movie if you want to feel better!
