Bo Gia (Dad, I’m Sorry), carries us into the soul of small-alley Saigon life through Ba Sang (Tran Thanh), a chronic meddler whose heart is too big for his own good. Flanked by a hyper-dysfunctional family, Ba Sang sacrifices day-to-day to preserve the tenuous balance between his bullying siblings and his rising YouTuber son. When family cracks rupture, Ba Sang slips into a predicament that threatens to rip his family apart.

No amount of local flavor can compensate for the overwrought melodrama and comedic excesses...

Todd McCarthy

Deadline Hollywood Daily

All of this discord is back-grounded by the most miserably manipulative laugh-track-style musical score you can imagine; every joke is punctuated by a silly, emphatic musical outburst.

James Marsh

South China Morning Post

Unfolding in 10 directions at once, like a binge-watched daytime soap opera as recounted by an overactive child, Dad, I'm Sorry lurches from one household drama to the next with little regard for subtlety or tonal consistency.

Rated: 2/5

If you're prone to get headaches from watching movies where most of the actors shout unnecessarily when they over-emote, then make sure that you have some aspirin nearby when watching Bo Gia ... [It] has a problematic way of depicting domestic violence.

It is from [Tran Thanh] and company's trust - and pride - in unruliness that the film's pros and cons surface, and unfortunately there is more of the latter than the former.

Rated: 2/5

It was an awesome movie and I especially like the fact that it was not dubbed (I can read subtitles just fine Amazon!) It was just overall a high quality family friendly movie - something we may have forgotten how to make in the west. Wife made me watch it and I'm glad we did.

Linh Huynh

This movie makes you laugh and cry interchangeably, drawing vividly the conflicts, the clashes between the older generation and the young modern generation in a traditional Vietnamese family, reflecting the whole society as it progresses. Through all the pain and the chaos, a new balance begins.

This is the best Vietnamese I've ever watched. Most of the time the movies are a slow pace and picks up slowly,but this movie just kept you hooked from the beginning till the end. It was an emotional roller coaster. When you laugh you laugh real hard,but when it's sad you cry like crazy. All the actors were amazing. The casting of the actors and actresses just fitted the characters they played.
