Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're diving into the quirky and lesser-known comedy, We Married Margo. Released in 2000, this film blends elements of a mockumentary and traditional comedy, exploring the odd but humorous premise of two men who, at different times, were married to the same woman named Margo.

Directed by J.D. Shapiro, We Married Margo is based on a real-life situation experienced by Shapiro himself, giving the film an authentic, albeit exaggerated, touch. The story is told through the perspectives of Jake and Rock, played by William Dozier and J.D. Shapiro, who recount their experiences with Margo to a judge during a legal proceeding. Their stories are interspersed with documentary-style interviews and flashbacks that add layers to their bizarre shared experience.

The film's narrative structure is unconventional, with Jake and Rock narrating their individual relationships with Margo, their eventual divorces, and the unlikely friendship that develops between them post-Margo. As they delve into the complexities of their relationships, the humor arises from their different personalities and the absurdity of their situation. The court setting adds a comedic formality to their outrageous stories, making for a series of laugh-out-loud moments.

Why It’s Worth Watching If you're a fan of mockumentaries or are looking for a comedy that's off the beaten path, We Married Margo is definitely worth a watch. It’s a film that manages to be funny, thoughtful, and surprisingly heartfelt, despite its zany premise.

So, grab some popcorn and join us as we revisit We Married Margo, enjoying the laughs and the peculiar yet endearing journey of two men connected by more than just their former wife. Whether you’re in for the comedy or the curious setups, there’s a lot to like in this hidden gem. 🎬💔👨‍👧‍👦🍿
