Like Father (2018)
7/10
Kristin Bell and Kelsey Grammer are good, writing is flat at times and the blatant advertising is annoying

I liked Kristin Bell and Kelsey Grammer a lot, they were very believable and mostly likable. Some of the writing could have been a little more engaging - there wasn't a lot of buildup to the key turning point in the movie, so it was kind of "meh" when it happened. There could have been more intensity leading up until that point.

The ad for the cruise was blatant and kept taking me out of the movie, so thumbs down for that. Ironic that she's supposed to be so good at advertising/marketing/branding but that was such a "fail" throughout the movie.

Seth Rogan's character seemed to be kind of a distraction, as well. Did we really need to know that much about him for the part he played in the story? It didn't seem like it. Seemed like they were trying a bit hard to make his part substantial.

But overall I enjoyed the movie, would recommend with the appropriate expectations.
