Although Brad has a satisfying career, a sweet wife and a comfortable life in suburban Sacramento, things aren't quite what he imagined during his college glory days. When he accompanies his musical prodigy son on a university tour, he can't help comparing his life with those of his four best college friends who seemingly have more wealthy and glamorous lives. But when circumstances force him to reconnect with his former friends, Brad begins to question whether he has really failed or if their lives are actually more flawed than they appear.

Reviews

Ian (Flash Review)Brad has some learning and maturing to do even as a man in his fifties. As he embarks on a college tour trip with his son (one being Harvard of course), he begins to compare himself some of his college friends who are literally in the top 1% and he begins to feel jealous and that he hasn't amounted to... enough. As he begins to reconnect with some, he learns that their lives are as rosy as they may seem. Perhaps his upper middle class life with intelligent and kind son is actually pretty good. Will he figured that out? What college will his son her into? This movie is certainly aimed at parents out on a dinner and movie date. Maybe in today's modern society that is so focused on material happiness and living like a celebrity this is sadly somewhat needed for some to recalibrate what matters in life.

dkish-90297 I'll start by saying I love Ben Stiller and will watch just about any movie he is in. I did not like this movie. I thought the premise was good but the movie and storyline could have been much better. I know what they were trying to get acrosss - it just didn't work for me. It's 2 hours I'll never get back and it was a waste. IMHO

TxMike My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. I must admit my motive, I am a big Jenna Fischer fan, I found myself wishing she had a larger role.Ben Stiller is Brad Sloan, approaching 50 and often thinks about the guys he knew in college. He lives in Sacramento and has a business aligned with non-profits. But his several closest friends in college seem much more successful, one a hedge fund manager, another a popular TV personality and professor, another who retired at 40 and now spends his days frolicing with two pretty women. Brad is concerned that his "status" isn't great even though he is financially comfortable and he has a good marriage and a super kid about to go off to college. Brad has to grow up.He and his son, Austin Abrams as Troy Sloan, take a college-hunting trip to the Boston area. This trip proves pivotal for Brad, for the first time he realizes how cool his son is and maybe Brad's status isn't so bad after all. Jenna Fischer is the mom, Melanie Sloan. Good movie, interesting character study of Brad and his flawed perceptions of what is important in life.

adonis98-743-186503 A father takes his son to tour colleges on the East Coast and meets up with an old friend who makes him feel inferior about his life's choices. Brad's Status has all the right intentions with the meaning of parenting and all that but the message comes off as boring and bland to a point where viewers will fell asleep. The perfomances aren't exactly bad tho their aren't great either and in the end this is a film that will leave viewers like 'meh i've seen better'. (2/10)
