The story was originally written for a White family, but the director, Hannah Marks felt that Cho was best suited for the role after seeing him in a previous father role in Searching. And after Isaac joined, Marks said, "We did adapt the script in certain areas to feel like it was customized to them."

Filming commenced in New Zealand in May 2021.

The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 13, 2022, and was released on Prime Video on July 15, 2022.

Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes rated it 53% based on 60 reviews with an average rating of 5.8/10. The critical consensus reads, "John Cho and Mia Isaac are an appealing pair of leads, but Don't Make Me Go is one road trip movie that follows an overly familiar path."

Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film a B, calling it "a joy, heartbreaking and heartening in equal measure." Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a solidly likable drama, anchored by lovely, lived-in chemistry between John Cho and Mia Isaac as a father-daughter duo," but added that "a misguided third-act choice throws off its bittersweet vibe, leaving a distinctly sour aftertaste." Michael Nordine of Variety also criticized the film's third act as "questionable."
