Mark Wahlberg’s Most Offensive Performance On Netflix Is Also Incredibly Uplifting

Father Stu has all the makings of a Mark Wahlberg-led movie. There’s the bad-boy aspect, the fitness and athlete aspect, and the offensive language aspect but it’s the heartfelt twist that sets this title apart from others in the actor’s resumé. What audiences will see throughout Father Stu is a beautiful character arc as one man moves from self-centeredness to the desire and commitment to caring for those around him. 

Along with Mark Wahlberg, Father Stu also stars Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook), Teresa Ruiz (Narcos: Mexico), Mel Gibson (the Lethal Weapon franchise), Cody Fern (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story), Aaron Moten (Disjointed), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Carlos Leal (The Last Thing He Wanted), Jack Kehler (The Big Lebowski), Tony Amendola (Once Upon a Time), Patricia Belcher (Good Luck Charlie), Niko Nicotera (Sons of Anarchy), and Annet Mahendru (The Americans).
