When a workaholic young executive, 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. 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.

Great movie, funny and poignant at the same time. Kelsey Grammer is great and Kristen Bell is her usual adorable self. 9/10

A movie with a very good story, but if you're looking for a feelgood movie, than this may not be the movie you're looking for. The lesson in this movie is that you need to take some time for youself/family and that work is not everything. Kelsey Grammer, Seth Rogen and Kristen Bell really performed well in this movie, but sadly for the other characters they didn't get much backstory or whatever to actually connect with these people. This movie really had some great/funny moments (Like the karaoke) and the story is really good, but this movie is not really a comedy in my eyes. If it was labeled Drama or something like that I would have given it a 7, but it didn't really lighten me up like I expect from a comedy.

This was a good movie. Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer were the draw but the movie was more than I expected. Usually, unlikable characters cause me to lose interest but I'm glad I hung in there - these characters filled out as the movie progressed. Good acting. Nice storytelling. Stupendous commercial for Royal Caribbean Cruiselines. As a side note, comedian Seth Rogen, a Canadian actor, played a Canadian in a very likeable, vulnerable way, but, is it my imagination, or is there a new American trend to poke fun at the Canadian image of being nice (maybe a little naive and simple) people? Well, I guess the haters could do worse. Notwithstanding the possible poke, I give this film a 7.9 (nicely good) out of 10. [Dramedy]

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

There really isn't much special about this one, but Kristen Bell really shows how great an actress she is and Kelsey Grammer nails his role as the disappointing father figure.

This reconnection story in tragedy is very touching and interesting More

Judging from the description, I assumed that Like Father was a different sort of romantic comedy. I figured that Dad would come into play to either assist or hinder in his daughter’s quest for romantic love, perhaps by facilitating or blocking her from getting back together with the man who left h More
