Like Father Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Oliver Jones
Bell and Grammer's characters are so fuzzily rendered that they create no sparks when they butt heads in close quarters.
Film Inquiry
Josh Martin
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.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
A smooth and steady viewing experience that comfortably relies on its cast and confident storytelling to make for an enjoyable cinematic getaway.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A dramady about the difficulties of shucking resentment.
What the Flick?!
Christy Lemire
There is an element with early onset Alzheimer's, that in the film feels very wedged in like as the emotional underpinning that they are going for which explains certain people's actions.
What the Flick?!
Jason Carter
I've never seen Kristen Bell more unlikable and Kelsey Grammer more likable ever until this movie.
What the Flick?!
Tara McNamara
This is a fantasy for kids who've been abandoned and for some regretful parents this is a fantasy film, because it doesn't play out like that, there's a lot of trauma that you can never get past.
Decider
Lea Palmieri
It's not the kind of trip you'll return to multiple times, but still one that you'll look back on fondly.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
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.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
These flaws might be more banal, if not more forgivable, had the film not seemingly had its own ulterior motive for entering your living room. Unfortunately, branding plays a far more significant role than any of the human supporting characters.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
It's a predictable comedy of reconciliation. But it boasts substantial pleasures, largely on account of the performers.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
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.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
"Like Father" does what a lot of its comedic ancestors did, which is find humor on the perimeter of woeful circumstance.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
By the time the main characters deliver an exuberant full-length karaoke rendition of Styx's "Come Sail Away," a norovirus seems a desirable alternative.
Variety
Peter Debruge
It's hard to imagine anyone but Netflix greenlighting such a lackluster screenplay (I imagine 60 pages with the words "Insert hilarious montage here" repeated five or six times throughout)...
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
There are traces here of a more ambitious, less predictable film.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
For the most part, it's barely a comedy at all, first by choice and then for other, more disappointing reasons.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
The 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...
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
"Like Father" swamps its workable emotional core and adept lead turns with some slapdash plotting and a raft of floating festivities.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Like Father ends up challenging the value of resentment in a way that few movies can, or will, or want to.
