About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, tender parenthood story that turns into a real tearjerker, similar in spirit to Gifted or Two Is a Family; Not for you if you dislike melodrama or downbeat turns.
Pros: heartfelt father-child bond; big laughs and tears; warm, family-friendly energy | Cons: uneven early tone; some corny clichés; ending feels too bleak
