Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
Inoffensive, predictable, obvious, "Fathers' Day" is all the things a major studio comedy wants and needs to be. If you noticed that funny is not on the list, go to the head of the class.
Because humor, real humor, involves an element of daring, ...read the complete Fathers' Day movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Les Comperes, by Francois Veber)Fathers' Day is yet another American remake of a French comedy that falls flat on its face from an absence of quality humor. Perhaps most of the humor is lost in translation or perhaps the French just seem to handle broadly ...read the complete Fathers' Day movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

FATHER'S DAY is an unfunny, unmoving sentimental comedy, about two middle-aged men (Robin Williams and Billy Crystal) who team up to find a 17-year-old runaway who may or may not be one or the other's son. Forget the missing jokes or the glaring lack of ...read the complete Fathers' Day movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
