Alexanna H Daughter sets grieving widowed father up with women on dating apps and has them encounter each other in public, where the woman thinks they are meeting up for a date, and the dad thinks these are weird random women approaching him. This would be fine enough, but then a sobbing woman approaches him calling out his name and seeking his solace, turns out a pitpull had just ripped her chihuahuas throat out in front of her and he bled out in her arms. Dad has no idea who she is, and daughter and friend witness this with what seemed like shocked amusement, and the whole scene seemed to be played off for a laugh. No empathy for this woman who has just been deeply traumatized and now is also being treated like a crazy random woman by the man she thinks she's been communicating with online and is supposed to be meeting for a date. This was so disturbing and unfunny that it ruined the movie Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review John W While there is a good storyline about dealing with grief and moving on, it is eclipsed by the emotionally unstable father who is clearly an alcoholic without any resolution to his drinking issues. We are also left with the distinct possibility the mother was an alcoholic as well and that may have led to the car crash which killed her. The movie was not the feel-good movie about a single dad raising his daughter that I was hoping for. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Sally R Not worth it. It was described as lighthearted and is the exact opposite. The main theme is grief and loss. The characters are miserable and down. The dad is angry. There is no humor to offset the depressing mood. I didn't laugh once. Skip it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Guiselle C Not funny at all. Dad is a disgusting jerk and nothing about him makes the viewer want to root for a happy ending. He doesn't seem to like his daughter and berates her throughout the movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Mackenzie G I thought it was a good movie. Comedic but also heavy hearted. Grief was a main component in this movie and the characters are trying to navigate their loss whilst retaining some normalcy. Not as terrible as everyone is making it out to seem. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Maria S The description said it was “Light hearted, amusing and charming.”. It was neither of the three. I disliked this movie. It was not a feel good movie to me. Quite the bummer, actually. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
