It's difficult to ascertain what's harder to take in this laugh-free comedy: the sentimental bits or the expected dashes of witless crudity.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 30, 2021

[It's] fueled on the fumes of jokes that maybe could have passed in the early 2000s. In what's almost 2018, the blandness that it bleeds makes it as boring as it is unfunny.

Father Figures isn't an inherently bad movie, it just suffers from a serious identity crisis.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 21, 2018

One thing is for certain, in the case of Father Figures, (parental) anonymity would have been best for everyone involved.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 7, 2018

Oh Warner Bros. R-rated comedies, you used to be my guilty pleasure, but now you're my mortal enemy.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 27, 2018

A movie entirely without consequence, about people we don't care much for, a plot of impossible silliness, and situations that seem hauled through the grinder of exhausted mid-tempo farce.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 11, 2018

Virtually everything about this movie feels off, starting with the unconvincing casting of Owen Wilson and Ed Helms as twins

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2018

Father Figures is a swing and a miss, unfortunately. Despite its talented cast, Sher and Malen can't provide them with enough entertaining or cogent material to sell this half-hearted comedy.

The strengthening of the bond between the brothers as an axis, is poor and predictable. [Full review in Spanish]

...never has a uniform rhythm. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Mar 5, 2018

Wanders between being a film about brotherly love and an obscene comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2018

Come back, Daddy's Home 2; all is forgiven!

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2018

Offensive, amateurish and should be avoided, then forgotten. Who's the Daddy? Who cares?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 16, 2018

A talented cast mostly sink with the ship in a so-called comedy that is desperately dull and uninspired, often feeling like yet another carbon copy of a film we've seen several times before.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 16, 2018

If you're looking for laughs, look elsewhere.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2018

Wilson and Helms are the right leads for this odd couple tale of friction between a laidback bum and his uptight sibling, but the central conceit (that women enjoying sexual freedom is funny) no longer passes for a joke.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2018

Limp jokes, bad chemistry and the least believable onscreen fraternal bond make for a very lacklustre viewing experience.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2018

This almost totally fails as a comedy, with broad, unfunny, dumb jokes (such as Wilson and a young boy urinating on each other), though it's marginally better during the goopy, heartwarming parts.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 7, 2018

Both unfunny and uninspired.

| Jan 5, 2018

Lawrence Sher's direction may be no more than workmanlike, but at least he stays out of everyone's way.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 4, 2018
