Julia Barretto is planning to invite his father, comedian Dennis Padilla, to see her upcoming movie “Vince & Kath & James” when it opens in cinemas this coming Christmas day.

In an interview on Tuesday, Barretto said she is hoping her father could make time to see her movie because his feedback is important for her.

“Sana may time siya for me. Baka busy. Tignan natin pero siyempre invite ko siya kasi this is a rom-com and my dad is a comedian so siyempre gusto ko makakuha ng reaction, ng advice galing sa kanya. Gusto ko rin na maging proud 'yung daddy ko sa first ever comedy project ko,” she said.

Did she ever ask for tips from him while she was doing the movie?

“No, kasi gusto ko siya i-surprise. Gusto ko makita niya 'yung finished product tapos doon na siya magbigay ng comments niya right after,” she said.

Barretto said even her mom, actress Marjorie Barretto, is clueless about her character in the movie as well as its storyline.

The 19-year-old actress said she is just happy that things are so much better now between her and Padilla after everything that their family has gone through in the past.

“I hope [he can join us on December 25]. He has his own family na rin so I don’t know if he is going to be spending it with them. Let’s see, but at least we are all okay. Everything is so much better than it was before. Baby steps talaga 'yan. He’s still my father at the end of the day. Siyempre mahal ko pa rin 'yun talaga,” she said.

Directed by Theodore Boborol, "Vince & Kath & James" is Star Cinema’s official entry to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.

It is Barretto’s first big screen lead role. The movie also stars Joshua Garcia and Ronnie Alonte.
