Comedy When a workaholic young executive (Kristen Bell), 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 (Kelsey Grammer). The two depart as strangers, but over the course of a few adventures, a couple of umbrella-clad cocktails and a whole lot of soul-searching, they return with a renewed appreciation for family and life.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A generic melodrama starring two likable actors (...) A lackluster screenplay (...) [It] looks great"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer anchor a strong Netflix comedy (...) The kind of low-key charmer that traditional studios have left behind."	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"There's nary a cliche omitted in this overly familiar comedy/drama (...) Bell can't help but be appealing"	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Likable (...) The movie’s arc is too conventional by half, but the appeal of the two main actors keeps it (sorry) afloat"	POS
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"To call it a boatload of clichés wouldn’t be wrong. But it’s also true that many great Depression-era comedies and their myriad offspring share plot devices"	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"It’s barely a comedy at all (...) [It] starts to trade in phony sitcom-movie bullshit"	NEG
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Netflix comedy is easy to watch, easier to forget (...) There are simple pleasures to be had here but one wishes there were more of them (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
