Like Father
When a workaholic young executive (Kristen Bell), is left at the altar, she ends up on her Caribbean honeymoon cruise with the last person she ever expected: her estranged and equally workaholic father (Kelsey Grammer). The two depart as strangers, but over the course of a few hilarious adventures, a couple of umbrella-clad cocktails and a whole lot of soul-searching, they return with a renewed appreciation for family and life.

"Like Father" is as vanilla as entertainment gets. I hope Rogen enjoyed the sun, because her movie is a drag.

A mostly likable if wholly unremarkable heap of froth.

The movie's arc is too conventional by half, but the appeal of the two main actors keeps it (sorry) afloat, maybe more than it should...

It's by no means incompetent. It's just almost pathologically basic.

Like Father ends up challenging the value of resentment in a way that few movies can, or will, or want to.

For the most part, it's barely a comedy at all, first by choice and then for other, more disappointing reasons.

Like Father is not a good movie, but it at least has the courtesy to be fascinating in how it doesn't work at all.

"Like Father" swamps its workable emotional core and adept lead turns with some slapdash plotting and a raft of floating festivities.

It delivers a mature look at the scars we bear as adults. It's a sensitive, sweet tale of redemption and forgiveness.

There are traces here of a more ambitious, less predictable film.

Lauren Miller Rogen's charming feature comedy, Like Father, is elevated by the chemistry between Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer.
