Many of us watch movies to take an emotional journey and “Like Father” takes viewers on precisely that. Our story picks up on the wedding day of job-addicted Rachel (Kristen Bell), who unbeknownst to her can count her estranged father, Harry (Kelsey Grammer), as a guest to her nuptials. The thing is, what Harry has attended hoping it will be the happiest day of his daughter’s life, turns out to be everything but.

Mystery and thrills converge unexpectedly in the enthralling “Perdida.” The movie introduces its lead character in the present day with a concise sequence that lets the audience in on everything they need to know about the essence of Pipa (Luisana Lopilato), a driven detective. What drives her is made equally clear thanks to a brief intro.
