Selfie Dad is a 2020 American faith-based comedy-drama film written and directed by Brad J. Silverman.[1] It stars stand-up comedian Michael Jr. as Ben Marcus, a former stand-up comic who attempts to become a social media star.[2] The film's cast also includes Chonda Pierce, James Denton, Karen Abercrombie, and Jamie Grace.[3]

Selfie Dad was originally scheduled for a theatrical release, but was instead released on video-on-demand (VOD) services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Reception

Joe Leydon of Variety called Selfie Dad "a more emotional and satisfying piece of work" in comparison to a previous film by writer-director Silverman, Grace Unplugged (2013).[1] Leydon also wrote that Selfie Dad contains, "beneath all the funny business, some well-observed truths" regarding race relations in the United States, but noted that, "right now, those truths may be, well, more than a tad distracting from the story Silverman set out to tell."[1]

Shannon M., in a review of the film for The Dove Foundation (a non-profit organization that publishes reviews "based on Christian values"[5]), called it "a heart-warming film that reveals the truth of Hebrews 4:12."[6]
