Father Figures Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
None of the pieces comfortably fit with any of the ones that sit alongside of them. Worse, it's just didn't make me laugh, and for a holiday comedy that just might be the most unfortunate misstep of them all.
Tri-City Herald
Gary Wolcott
Whatever you call it, first time director Lawrence Sher's film is sometimes funny.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
It's not that Father Figures is irredeemably bad. It's that it's so predictable and yet so tonally disjointed.
IGN Movies
Alex Welch
Father Figures is a baffling film, one that never seems to ever get a handle on what it is or what it wants to be.
FilmDrunk
Vincent Mancini
It's not "good," or even especially coherent, but it's an easy, relaxed watch worth it for the occasional burst of inspired strangeness.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
The film, which finished shooting more than two years ago before spending endless months without a release date, is both meandering and bloated, suggesting the Frankensteinian result of brutal test screenings.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
Long and draggy, with a punishingly slow pace in the first act.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Father Figures is not just painfully anti-charming, it is transparently desperate.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Father Figures" is what happens when you throw a comedy and the laughs forget to show up.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Distinguished mainly by its overqualified cast and lack of inspiration, "Father Figures" can't decide whether it's a gross-out comedy or an uplifting tale of brotherly love; it embraces the worst of both worlds.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
At first [Helms and Wilson] seem incompatible. But their journey through family secrets delivers surprising charm.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Director Sher shows no special affinity for comic pacing or enlivening dialogue scenes, so the movie just plods from scene to scene, building no momentum.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Would you like to watch Wilson and a young child urinate on each other in a rest stop bathroom? Thought not.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Who's your daddy? Who cares.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
The movie torpedoes its sense of comic discovery. It's as if everyone involved can't wait for it all to be over and go home.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
A limply spritzing fountain of unconvincing (and unfunny) tricks out of the how-to-write-a-comedy-hit manual.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Moving images were projected, along with recorded sound, which indicates it is a movie, but the effect was so listless, low-energy and profoundly unentertaining that I jotted down in my notes "what even IS this?"
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This lightweight comic road movie is unhurried and eager to please. Most of the characters are live-action cartoons, though all of them are treated sympathetically.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Comedian Katt Williams, in a small role as a chipper hitchhiker, injects about 15 minutes worth of fun into Father Figures, an otherwise mostly dreadful road comedy in which Ed Helms and Owen Wilson play twins searching for a man to call dad.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
This is a lazy story, wholly dependent upon the likability of its cast which, while considerable, isn't enough to make it worth the trouble.
