Daddy Issues

Running time: 115 mins

A little chaos is always good.

In this blockbuster hit from Vietnam, an adaptation of a best-selling novel, all hell breaks loose when a recently widowed and devastated father magically swaps bodies with his teen daughter. Can the rule-abiding, straight-A student suddenly run her father’s wild creative team and win the high-stakes marketing contract? Can the artist father handle the rigid structures of high school, the constant selfies, the ex-boyfriend, the ballet competition? Of course not, and that’s where the fun begins. Humorously tackling the generation gap, and the challenge of being true to oneself (well, as much as one can, in another’s body!), the universal message and relatable characters will resonate with parents and children alike. – Kelly A. Harrison
