Like Father
When a workaholic young executive, is left at the altar, she ends up on her Caribbean honeymoon cruise with the last person she ever expected: her estranged and equally workaholic father. The two depart as strangers, but over the course of a few hilarious adventures, a couple of umbrella-clad cocktails and a whole lot of soul-searching, they return with a renewed appreciation for family and life.

Why so much hype?
Absolutely the worst movie.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I am always very critical with movies like these as they tend to think that the watchers are dumb and don't care about the details and often use unrealistic situations just to get the story going. This movie on the other hand feels very real and all Common movie mistakes has been eleminated and I am so thankful for that. The story might be cliche but this is done in a very surprising suttle manor. The cast worked very well for me and the humor was not over the top but just the right amount of chiches and the right dose of seriousness. Thank you! It was a delightful movie and the cruise ship feel felt real and the music nicely picked. Can't believe I actually watched a movie in the genre that touched me like movies did in the late 80ies and mid 90ies. And the chemistry between the two leading characters I would have never seen coming. Worked! More easy watchable and surprising comfortable movies like these please. Thumbs up from me.
I absolutely loved this film, it hit home with me with my real life. Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammar was absolutely magical together.
Kelsey Grammer and Kristen Bell are a very good matching for this movie. You can feel their emotions and empathize with their characters.The story is very touching.
I like Kristen Bell, but her character in this was just annoying, obnoxious and selfish! An obsessed workaholic is pretty much all there was to her personality. Who the hell makes a work call, as they're about to go down the aisle or spends more time on her phone sending emails than enjoying a cruise?? There were quite a few odd things about this movie, but the main annoying part was that there just wasn't much to the storyline. I didn't really feel much of a chemistry between her and her estranged Father, but I guess that at least was real...if a Father had walked out on you at 5 years old, you wouldn't have a bond, so this was at least realistic. There are some heartwarming moments which were good, but overall I just wasn't that impressed. It also wasn't nearly as funny as I expected it to be either.
