Tal Pai, Tal Filha

This film tells the story of a woman who is ditched at the altar. She goes to her supposed honeymoon on a cruise with her estranged father.

The film starts off strong, but it starts to go a little downhill after being on the cruise. The cruise ship itself is fantastic, but the film concentrates too much on the activities and facilities of the ship. It feels a bit of a hard sell, and is almost like an infomercial.

Yes, yes, it's good publicity for Royal Caribbean, you know that within a few minutes. Best to move on and enjoy the great characters, nicely acted, playing out a story that's not always as predictable as it could be, against great scenery. Faint praise? Not really, this is firmly a genre piece, but the characters are more nuanced than usual, with Grammer's Harry especially interesting. We enjoyed it loads and found it rather touching.

I didn't find it slow at all and enjoyed every moment. Kelsey Grammer did not disappoint and made this movie especially good. I would recommend it to friends!

Don't expect too much of this movie and you'll probably enjoy it. It's very predictably but still a sweet story. I especially liked that it's about the relationship between father and daughter and not another light weight romantic comedy.

I did think the supporting actors were a bit too stereotypical and the ending was slow but all in all an okay movie.

The story's just a tad slow and the Royal Caribbean advertising is pretty in your face, but the movie is still worth a watch. It tells a nice story emphasizing the importance of family, forgiveness, and moving forward.
