It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Yesterday we watched a Netflix production called "Like Father" and were rather disturbed at the content.What began and ended as a family movie, a' la Hallmark, safe for the family was punctuated with unnecessary cursing/ foul language transitioning the star from a successful workaholic woman to a foul mouthed inconsiderate spoiled brat!No, the wife and I are NOT religious nuts or holier than thou as we were executives in the Aerospace world with 75 years for experience many of which in executive positions. I have cursed with the best of them but certainly NOT in front of a lady, in my living room, or in front of mixed company.What we are is a family with kids, grand kids, and great grandkids who are looking for products that we could recommend to our friends and family and have a positive message without unnecessary language. I ask you, what does it add to an otherwise positive movie? Perhaps the rating should have been a giveaway? Example: When she missed the cab, I would never expect a "lady" to have such outbursts! Were the writers just too lazy to come up with a funny line and had to substitute profanity...drastically changing our view of the daughter? Why couldn't she have "cast a pox" on the cabbie...get a giggle instead of lowering the class of the entire movie?Good message but bumpy presentation.
Netflix lays some grand old turds, and this is one of them. Stinks to high heavens. Skip it and flush it. Turd brown
Like FatherThe downside to a honeymoon on a boat is that the sex usually involves a Roman shower.Luckily, the bride in this comedy is honeymooning with her estranged father.After workaholic Rachel (Kristen Bell) is jilted at the church she drowns her misery in a booze-fuelled night out with her deadbeat dad (Kelsey Grammer), who she hasn't seen in years. Under the influence of alcohol, she decides to take her honeymoon cruise. But instead of going alone she invites her parent.After some chopping waters, the pair soon bond over karaoke. Rachel even finds a new love interest (Seth Rogan).Distributed by Netflix, this debut film from Seth Rogan's wife, Lauren Miller, is a joyless family reunion void of laughs. When it's not moonlighting as a movie-of-the-week, it's serving as a paid advertisement for Royal Caribbean Cruises.Besides, the only cruise line that really caters to incestuous marriages is Carnival.

Don't expect too much of this movie and you'll probably enjoy it. It's very predictably but still a sweet story. I especially liked that it's about the relationship between father and daughter and not another light weight romantic comedy.I did think the supporting actors were a bit too stereotypical and the ending was slow but all in all an okay movie.
