After premiering at SXSW in 2024 and winning both the Narrative Feature Grand Jury Award and the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature, John Leguizamo\u2019s latest movie, Bob Trevino Likes It, received a limited theatrical release on March 9 and is now available to stream with a Hulu subscription<\/a>. Now that I\u2019ve finally seen the movie after viewing the trailer months back, I need to talk about how its message of found family was important to me.<\/p>\n Based on a true story from writer and director Tracie Lymon, Bob Trevino Likes It follows a 25-year-old woman named Lily Trevino, played by Euphoria\u2019s Barbie Ferreira<\/a>, who becomes estranged from her narcissistic and emotionally abusive father, Bob, played by French Stewart. Having been abandoned by her mother as a child, and coming off a bad breakup, Lily is desperate to reconnect with her father. So after failing to reach him on the phone and at his house, she seeks him out on Facebook and sends a friend request to an account that doesn\u2019t have a profile picture. It actually belongs to John Leguizamo\u2019s Bob Trevino.<\/p>\n This Bob is a married construction manager who, like Lily, doesn\u2019t have many friends, and has also lost a child. After he likes some of her posts, the two strike up a conversation, begin a real friendship, and eventually meet in person. As they spend time together, Leguizamo\u2019s Bob shows Lily more kindness and compassion than her own father ever did, and they both help each other become better people.<\/p>\n John Leguizamo (who will be seen next year in The Odyssey)<\/a> and Barbie Ferrera give great performances in Bob Trevino Likes It, and the movie is wonderfully directed, but the focus on found family particularly struck a chord with me. Not only am I often drawn to stories where people unrelated by blood are in a tight-knit group will look out for one another like they would a parent, sibling, or child, I have some experience with this in real life. Besides my parents, I\u2019m not particularly close with anyone in my extended family for various reasons, and I\u2019ve found more fulfilling relationships with friends for most of my life.<\/p>\n More About John Leguizamo<\/p>\n John Leguizamo’s Aurelio hold glass filled with alcohol while talking with John Wick<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
