> It was about a son reconnecting with his father...and his brother. Yes, of course. But it (IMHO) had an opposite effect, where instead of strengthening the emotional impact of this is his dad, the character was reduced to comedy and pantomime (walking the wrong way, etc). Compare with the masterful non-verbal performance of Wall-E and Eve, for example. I mean, there's no way around the fact that the dad only being re-embodied from the waist down, was meant to be funny and silly. Instead of one last adventure between father and son, and showing us the strong bond that the child wanted to experience one last time, they showed us a running gag of wrangling a pair of pants.
