Papa Loves You is an interesting little comedy from 2004, featuring the struggles of Ying, a single dad, trying to rein in his unruly teen daughter, Ellen. The film captures that chaotic atmosphere of family life, where the humor often stems from the relatable messiness of parenthood. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but that adds to its charm, I guess. You can tell there are some practical effects sprinkled throughout, though they don’t steal the show. The performances, especially from the leads, have this rawness that makes the emotional beats hit harder. It’s distinctive in how it mixes light-hearted comedy with genuine themes of love and discipline, without getting overly sentimental. Not groundbreaking, but definitely has its moments.
