ok, so i watched this today.
it was sweet and pretty lovely. although, i do have to admit, not special.
it sort of hits the marks it needs to hit for a fairly standard experience.

KB and Kelsey are great and play off each other well.
I also liked the boss character and Seth Rogen's character.

the other characters on the ship arent well drawn i dont think. and not well executed, although they are fairly delightful in their own ways.

some bits were a bit underwhelming. and others came together far better then i thought they would have.

all in all, i watched it for KB and am happy i did. but i think the reviews are right in giving it a B grade.

looking forward to other peoples thoughts.

i watched it last night and it made me smile the whole time, minus the scenes with conflict between rachel and her dad, but seriously it was really like a bright spot on a rainy day and such a sweet movie. her performance was great and her and kelsey grammer's chemistry was two thumbs up!

PS: And for Kristen Bell, she's in a lot of bubbly, comedic roles, but this really shows off her dramatic edge. What made you realize she was Rachel?

LMR: She and I have a mutual friend and we've met a few times, but didn't really know each other. I sent my friend the script like, "Can you email her and tell her that I'm a normal person and to read the script?" [laughs] I'd seen a lot of her comedic work and I'd seen a little bit of her dramatic roles, but not exactly quite like this. Within the first few minutes of meeting with her, it was the same thing [as with Kelsey]. She's a really intellectual actor. When I wrote the script I really wanted to create a character who felt three-dimensional, who felt like a real woman who goes on a quite emotional journey with a lot of ups and downs, and I wanted her to react to those things in a way that feels organic and authentic. Instantly, that was the first thing Kristen talked about. We were so on the same page. I had a real partnership with her in creating a woman who felt genuine, and hopefully women who see the movie will see themselves in her.

Netflix movies can be hit or miss, but according to Seth Rogen, Like Father was a freakin’ home run. Last night, the actor tweeted that the lighthearted comedy was Netflix’s “number one movie in over 100 countries this weekend,” a huge honor considering that award-winning hits like Million Dollar Baby and The Aviator came onto the platform just a few days earlier. Rogen went on to explain that in the days since Like Father premiered on August 3, the film has racked up over 10 million streams, making it Netflix’s “number one movie in the world.”

Netflix’s ‘Like Father’ May Be One Of The Biggest Seth Rogen Movies Of All Time
