Like Father Like Son

The movie Like Father Like Son was very interesting. Even though the switching of children is something that does not commonly happen anymore it was something that happened quite often in the older days, especially during wartime. I enjoyed how this movie was a modern twist on that type of situation. You never really knew what the father was thinking or what he was going to do next. It was heartbreaking when he decided to give up Keita and then told him that the other family loved him more. And the poor mother who was being told that she just should have known whose child was whose because she was the mom.

I liked the contrast between the two families; it made the movie much more exciting. I was always left wondering which family Keita was going to choose in the end. Who wouldn’t want the crazy dad who could fix anything? Even though he didn’t have a lot of money, he was still a good father, unlike the family who did have more money where the father was more distant and strict. I enjoyed watching the characters grow and change throughout the movie. At first, I thought the poorer family was in the switch just for the money, but as the movie went on I discovered they were actually nice people.

I couldn’t imagine giving up any child who had been with me for 6 years, even if he or she wasn’t my own flesh and blood.
