BOB TREVINO LIKES IT is inspired by the true friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon found with a stranger when looking for her father online. Often playing the role of caretaker to people like her father who should be caring for her, Lily Trevino longs for a familial connection, having been abandoned by her mother as a child and then suddenly by her father in her twenties. Bob Trevino works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie's scrapbooking habit. The couple has endured a lot in the past decade, and Bob has sought to put his wife first, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and need for friendship, meaning, and connection--that is, until he gets an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger. Lily and Bob's blossoming friendship becomes a vital source of connection and healing in both their lives. Bob's small acts of fatherly kindness fill a familial void in Lily's life and hold the power to change her direction forever. In their own ways, these two must both learn they are worthy of extraordinary love exemplified through small acts of kindness.

Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) If you want a balm for these difficult times, Bob Trevino Likes It is it. Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle When one performance in a movie is exceptional, you can credit the actor. But when everyone is great, it has to have at least something to do with the director. That’s the case with “Bob Trevino Likes It,” which has three standout performances. Rated: 3/4 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Best to meet Bob Trevino on its own terms – with open arms and an unjudgey heart. Rated: 3/5 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat The movie might just restore your faith in humanity – for 101 minutes, at least. Rated: 3/4 May 7, 2025 Full Review Loren King Newport This Week (RI) [There are] more than a few plot holes. But these are filled by two subtle and memorable performances that deliver ordinary, wounded, yet be­lievable characters not often found on screen.
