      Not quite bad, but it's not recommended either.

Movie Reviews

  • its scenes aren't really long or improv-heavy enough to qualify as rambling, but they're often slow enough to qualify as excruciating
    Review rate : D+ by Jesse Hassenger [AV Club ]
  • each time, Justin Malen's script offers a nugget of novelty that might have led to something amusing, but Sher (a cinematographer making his directing debut) and his cast can't bring them to life
    by John DeFore [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • 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
    by Robert Abele [The Wrap ]
  • big laughs, however, are hard to come by here. The scenes are either too heavy (the climax is the downer of the year), too sedate or too gross
    1.5 of 4 by Johnny Oleksinski [New York Post ]
  • "Father Figures", is a limply spritzing fountain of unconvincing (and unfunny) tricks out of the how-to-write-a-comedy-hit manual
    by Owen Gleiberman [Variety ]
