Look, it won't win any awards, but it was a cute little movie. I don't like Seth Rogen in anything, but considering it's his wife's movie, his presence was to be expected. Someone/any one else could've played his character equally well, hopefully better. He wasn't a believable romantic interest. We'll never know. All the haters crapping on the cruise line...c'mon, really? It wouldn't matter what cruise line they were on, the same people would be fussing. I guess they'd prefer if the cruise line had no name. I enjoyed the dynamic between Kristen & Kelsey, they played their evolving characters well. It may have been predictable but still cute. Maybe really only a 6 because of Rogen, but I thought I'd give the ratings a little boost, just for effort.
Kelsey Grammer and Kristen Bell have good chemistry. The story is simple and meaningful, about connecting with people. Worth a watch.
Slow, bored, watch at double speed, predictable, WHAT??
I don't think so.
The pacing was slow because this relationship mending process doesn't happen over night, or does it get fixed with one good hangover.
You want action comedy, wam bam thank you mam without the emotions that they are working through. I think it might appear cliche, but relationships are not. This movie made me cry, as I am that father. This movie hit so close to home that i know it will be a turning point in my life. It is easy to produce an action, car chase, gun shots from everywhere, science fiction escape that is void of heart, love, longing, remorse, trust,fear, and a dozen more emotions.
The fear that we face in our lives is not that bad guys are trying to kill us, and chase us down and bury us in a ditch.
The fear is to be alone, without love, friends, a home, food, a job, a family; but as we grow all these dynamics change. When once a small barbecue was easy, and everybodt was there to chip in, then later we don't even want to go through the actions.
We can hide in our work or run away to that place where we can feel our ;life, as it is.
I will recommend this movie, and pray that any of the hurtful things that happen in this flick will never happen to any one ever again.
Open your souls eye to what this movie is trying to share. You will cry if you have a heart.

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.
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.
