Torch

About This Movie

So, 'Torch' is this quirky little comedy from 2013 that really plays with the idea of familial obligations and love. It follows these two guys who are completely determined to win over the reeve's daughter, which creates this odd mix of rivalry and camaraderie. The performances are... well, they give it a certain charm, even if they’re a bit over the top at times. You can feel the light-heartedness throughout, but there’s also this underlying tension of societal expectations that keeps it interesting. The pacing is a bit uneven—some moments drag while others rush through the humor—but that somehow adds to its unique vibe. It’s definitely got a handmade feel, with practical effects used where they can, giving it a distinct touch in the landscape of family comedies.
