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 ...

Peter McGinn

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 her...
