Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Jayne Nelson

Lily Trevino (Barbie Ferreira) lives a lonely life. Emotionally abused by her narcissistic father, Bob (French Stewart), she's such a wreck that her life story actually makes her therapist cry. When her dad cuts off all contact after a misunderstanding, Lily is distraught. While searching for him on Facebook, she finds another man in the next town with the same name. Messaging him on a whim, she discovers that Bob Trevino (John Leguizamo) is warm, friendly and fatherly: exactly what Lily needs. In return, Bob connects with Lily as the daughter he never had. This semi-autobiographical tale, written and directed by Tracie Laymon, lays out its story methodically and with very little flair. Yet, Ferreira and Leguizamo share a wonderful chemistry that elevates the material; you can feel how much they ache inside as each eases the other's pain. Sure, it's cheesy - Lily and Bob even bond in slow motion over a cute puppy. But nothing here feels cynical, and the story's real-life roots go some way to justifying the drama's more mawkish moments. A likeable little heartstring-tugger.
