Vertigo Releasing has just unveiled the official trailer for Bob Trevino Likes It, a tender dramedy written and directed by Tracie Laymon that proves sometimes, all it takes is one unexpected message to change your life. With a heartwarming cast led by John Leguizamo and Barbie Ferreira, the film weaves a story of unexpected friendship, quiet healing, and the kind of love that doesn’t need to shout to be extraordinary.
John Leguizamo stars as Bob Trevino, a quiet, hardworking man whose life revolves around construction sites and supporting his wife's very enthusiastic scrapbooking hobby. Bob’s days are filled with long hours, emotional solitude, and a gnawing sense that something—someone—is missing. That is, until a Facebook message from a stranger named Lily (Barbie Ferreira) arrives and nudges him into an unexpectedly life-changing connection.
Lily and Bob’s unlikely friendship becomes a lifeline for both of them. As Bob steps into a gentle, fatherly role in Lily’s world, their bond fills emotional voids neither of them fully understood they had. It’s not flashy. It’s not grand. But it’s real. And in that space of quiet empathy, Bob Trevino Likes It finds its magic—celebrating kindness, chosen family, and the healing power of simply showing up for someone.
After making waves at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, the film is now slated for a wide release on May 26, 2025. With a charming supporting cast including French Stewart, Lauren Spencer, and Rachel Bay Jones, this heartfelt indie gem looks set to deliver both laughs and lump-in-the-throat moments in equal measure. So, go ahead—like it, love it, maybe even message someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Bob Trevino would.
