I left the theater tonight not sure what the appeal was for this film but knowing I'd just wasted several hours of my life. Was it the self absorbed narcissistic mother? The mamas boy, overly sensitive, coddled yet film genius Spielberg character? The wimpy father? The unappealing Seth Rogan as the boyfriend? And at 2 hours 31 minutes...each minute more excruciating than the last...it was unbearably long. There were several times I thought my eyes were going to stay in the back of my head as I guessed one scene after another before I was subjected to it. For me, The Fablemans can be summed up as Spielberg's tribute to himself and as such he apparently didn't know when to say "cut ". Stay away. It's awful.
