In About My Father, Maniscalco is prepared to propose to his girlfriend Ellie (Bibb), but his very traditional Italian father Salvo (De Niro) presents a hurdle. Salvo insists on acquainting himself with Ellie's family before entrusting him with the family ring. Since Sebastian has just received an invitation to Ellie's family's summer home to celebrate the Fourth of July, he sees an opportunity. Sebastian decides to bring Salvo along, hoping to secure the coveted family heirloom. The film's comedic moments arise from the clash of cultures between Ellie's extremely upper-class family and Salvo's blue-collar background.

Sebastian Maniscalco and Robert De Niro are seen together in the movie About My Father.

Screen Rant presents an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip that primarily focuses on the cast's firsthand experiences working with Robert De Niro on set, along with De Niro's personal journey in shaping the character of Salvo.

The comedian also reminisces about witnessing the actor's interactions with his own father, who played a significant role in training De Niro on hairstyling techniques. Bibb adds to the praise, describing the iconic actor as "absolutely outstanding."

Robert De Niro is known for his dramatic acting abilities, but seeing him in a comedic role is always a delightful surprise. About My Father turns the tables on De Niro's previous role in Meet the Parents, as his character, Salvo, finds himself out of his element, creating a hilarious fish out of water scenario. Audiences can experience the chaotic journey of the Maniscalco family when About My Father is released for home viewing later this summer.

About My Father will be available on Digital starting July 25th, and on Blu-ray Combo Pack (including DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand from Lionsgate starting August 1st.
