Calum Marsh New York Times 05/09/2023
The humor is glib and fatuous, with the broad, clichéd tone of an old-fashioned network sitcom. Go to Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 08/11/2022
Hits it target, being both funny and squirm-inducing. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 06/02/2023
Some of the jokes are a little corny, but the movie gets better as it goes along. Ally Maki gives an impressive performance as a Type-A perfectionist with daddy issues. Dealing With Dad does a mostly capable job of balancing family drama and comedy. Go to Full Review Pamela Powell Reel Honest Reviews 05/27/2023
3.5
Huang’s “Dealing with Dad” just may allow you to see yourself or your family just a little differently while it entertains and makes you laugh. Go to Full Review CJ Sheu The News Lens International 05/25/2023
The Americanized grown children of Asian immigrants come to terms with the poor emotional parenting of their father. The real twist isn’t in the premise of the Taiwanese father having depression but rather what if he actually doesn’t have a heart of gold? Go to Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky 05/12/2023
4.5/5
Unapologetically dives into depression and how it affects those around it. It also leans into past traumas and eye opening realizations about who your parents were before you. It's funny, but it's also extremely emotional. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Carole M @RT85126697 02/27/2025 Kudos to the amazing writer who GETS how real families work! See more Eden N @Snenava 06/02/2024 No one was likable, just seemed like stereotypes with no purpose. Therapy seriously needed for the whole family. See more 05/06/2024 Terrible editing, hard to watch See more Greg N @RT88980063 05/02/2024 Dealing with Dad is at turns both hilarious and heart wrenching, using a very serious subject about the challenges of handling elderly parents with worsening mental health to tell a really good story. No spoilers here, but this won't end like you expect, which only adds to the overall charm of the movie. The cast is wonderful, especially Ally Maki in the lead role as Margaret and Dana Lee as Dad. Highly recommended! See more edward s @RT82180440 04/28/2024 A really relatable story that had me invested start to finish! See more Tim S @RT82915882 04/21/2024 This is a very funny but also moving look at adult children struggling with their father's depression. The characters all seem like real people. Real, very quirky, often difficult people. I saw it with my teenage son and he also thought it was hilarious. See more Read all reviews
