“I Love You Daddy” (** out of four) was an affectionate but uneven throwback to Hollywood’s Golden Age about a television producer (Louis CK who also wrote and directed) whose precocious daughter (Chloe Grace-Moretz) falls in love with a much older power player (John Malkovich) with a concerning past involving young girls. Queasy subject matter is played for sincere laughs and done in the style of a 1950’s screwball comedy. Good cast carries this as far as it can go but result is scattershot and tiresome. Gorgeously shot in b & w by Paul Koestner
