Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Daddy Longlegs is the first directorial collaboration by The Safdie Brothers* Josh had his individual debut with The Pleasure Of Being Robbed a year prior. It's an indie Dramedy with a limited festival run in 2009 before a wider release in 2010.The film unfolds with laser focus on Lenny (Ronald Bronstein), a divorcee in the Big Apple, during a two-week arranged custody of his elementary-aged sons. Juggling his job as a theater projectionist, two hyperactive young boys and a stale relationship, the demands Lenny must rise to meet become progressively more stressful to fill. The Safdies themselves based it loosely on experiences they'd had with their father in New York as children. | |

Black Comedy: Lenny's Bumbling Dad tendencies are typically played for laughs, at least at the start. | |

| Daddy Longlegs (2009) / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: Lenny telling a homeless man that he has no money, only to do a handstand a couple seconds later that sends a rain of change out from his pockets. | |

Adult Fear | |
| Daddy Longlegs (2009) / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: A major tone shift happens when the boys essentially go comatose from ingesting Lenny's sleeping pills. Lenny is, understandably, terrified during this time. | |

Bumbling Dad | |
| Daddy Longlegs (2009) / int_b9c3de84 | comment |
Bumbling Dad: The struggles to maintain a job and an already unstable relationship as a divorced father during your brief custody period leaves Lenny doing bumbling things like walking to pick up his kids from school with three ice-cream cones melting in one hand. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Daddy Longlegs (2009) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Lenny spends most of the film this way, engaging in irresponsible parenting practices such as leaving his kids alone outside of their school for progressively longer periods of time. By the movie's end, he's arguably become a Villain Protagonist. | |
