Entertainment Weekly
"The movie?s arc is too conventional by half, but the appeal of the two main actors keeps it (sorry) afloat, maybe more than it should: Grammer, tanned and handsomely bearish in late mid-life, makes Harry more than a heedless cad; he?s blown it, but he knows it. And Bell, with her Kewpie-doll intensity, brings something spiky and real to her tightly wound workaholic".
Indiewire
"But however afraid she is to let things get too serious, Miller Rogen is powerless to erase the emotional undertow that carries this story forward. All of the pent-up animosity her movie doesn?t know what to do with becomes its greatest asset".
The Hollywood Reporter
"Bell can't help but be appealing, even when her character behaves obnoxiously. Grammer is enough of a comic pro not to strain too hard, delivering a charmingly relaxed performance".
The Guardian
"Netflix comedy is easy to watch, easier to forget."
Variety
"Like 'Toni Erdmann', it?s got father-daughter tension, a young woman who may as well be glued to her phone at all times, plenty of situations in which she seems terribly embarrassed by association with her dad, and a finale in which singing karaoke instigates the obligatory reconciliation".
The A.V. Club
"It?s barely a comedy at all (...) [It] starts to trade in phony sitcom-movie bullshit."
