    #adoptee No need to watch the "Father Figures" movie on Netflix. Theme of searching and saviorism.

    Wow, what a series of images shown rapidly to give the impression of movement that was. Never watch the 2017 "comedy" Father Figures, a movie that certainly exists. It provides no calories. Or taste. It would be AI but it's too early.

    Here is another oldie but goody I recommend wholeheartedly: Father Figures, a 2017 film that will capture your heart and your funny bone. It's on Netflix. #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity
