Like Father (2018 Lauren Miller Rogen & co-scr)

Seth's wife's feature debut is unfortunately one of those scripts which feels like it has been written using an app - pick 'estranged father and daughter' and it writes the rest for you. Reuniting of Kelsey Grammar and Kristen Bell is predictably enjoyable but sentimental and at times barf-inducing - a funny fat black man - really? Seth Rogan co-stars. It's filmed in 2.55:1 for some reason, perhaps to get all the people around the dining table in comfortably...


Amusing Netflix warning that 'This program contains product placement' - was that the monstrous cruise ship? Less amusing is the way they don't run the end credits and there seems to be no way to do so (OK there may be a way).
