Leave your thoughts about Like Father.
| AV ClubJesse HassengerPerversely, it’s only after Like Father is in the clear from its potentially ridiculous set-up that it really starts to trade in phony sitcom-movie bullshit. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairFirst-time filmmaker Miller generally does an effective job of drawing the viewer into the less-than-innovative storyline... |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA dramady about the difficulties of shucking resentment. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichHowever afraid she is to let things get too serious, Miller Rogen is powerless to erase the emotional undertow that carries this story forward. All of the pent-up animosity her movie doesn’t know what to do with becomes its greatest asset. |
| Consequence of SoundCaroline SiedeLike Father is confidently shot and showcases some lovely Caribbean scenery, but Rogen’s biggest strength as a writer/director is her masterful understanding of tone. She’s crafted a genuinely moving father/daughter dramedy in what feels like a heightened studio comedy. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattThe 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. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperBell 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. |
| ColliderMatt GoldbergLike Father is not a good movie, but it at least has the courtesy to be fascinating in how it doesn't work at all. |
| Film InquiryJosh MartinLike 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. |
| Paste MagazineAmy GlynnThis film is occasionally funny. But not super-funny. It’s occasionally poignant. But not a heavyweight on the drama side, either. |
