In “Bob Trevino Likes It,” 20-year-old Lily Trevino (Barbie Ferreira) is in dire need of love. Any kind of love. She’s got no friends, and her dad, Bob Trevino (French Stewart), is a self-involved, mooching loser. Lily serendipitously befriends an older man online (where else, these days?). What starts with trappings of a creepy daddy-issues tale turns out to be the most heartwarming movie of the year.
