Like Father unites an alarmingly talented cast for a predictable rom-com that does nothing to counter the negative stereotypes surrounding the genre.

Bell and Grammer's characters are so fuzzily rendered that they create no sparks when they butt heads in close quarters. August 29, 2018 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

These are two phenomenal performers giving their all to a sharp family drama disguised as an outrageous cookie-cutter comedy. I had no idea how much Like Father was something I needed. August 13, 2018 | Full Review…

Clearly, given its algorithmic knowledge, Netflix knows things we don't... It doesn't quite explain why a film so willing to check all the comedy-cliché boxes would commit to humor least of all, particularly given how well standard fare can do. August 7, 2018 | Full Review…

It's a predictable comedy of reconciliation. But it boasts substantial pleasures, largely on account of the performers. August 3, 2018 | Full Review…

Bell and Grammer are wonderful playing off one another. Funny when the moment calls for funny, authentic and believable when the moment calls for substantive drama. August 3, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Neither karaoke with Come Sail Away... nor the appearance of Seth Rogen, keep [Like Father] from sinking. [Full review in Spanish] September 3, 2019 | Full Review…

A huge misstep for co-writer and director Lauren Miller Rogen, who probably made this lazy vanity project so the cast and crew could get a free Caribbean vacation. December 22, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Like Father is not a radical or subversive family comedy, but the cast has good chemistry, the story moves along nicely, and the big, tear-jerking moments make an impact. By the end, it surpasses its modest ambitions. August 20, 2018 | Full Review…
