Josh Rosenblatt Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times The story of a man (Aaron Eckhart) grappling with middle-age ennui at work and at home feels done to death, as does the distracting addition of a spunky rich-kid high schooler. Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 13, 2008 Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper This movie never should have seen the light of day. May 12, 2008 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India [A] meandering, plotless venture. Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Annie Wagner The Stranger (Seattle, WA) [Meet Bill] is artless and abrupt, and once you lay eyes on it, you feel totally cheated. Aug 21, 2017 Full Review Andrew L.

Jeffrey P B I don't get all the bad reviews. Some people are just miserable. It's a fun, lighthearted movie. Nothing trend setting, but it was entertaining. Some people need to lighten up. Lol Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most displeasing & annoying movie I've ever watched 😡😡😡, So the one's who haven't watched it or have been planning to watch it, Please do not watch it as it's an absolute waste of time trust me , Both of the directors should be banned from making movies as they lack the skills, knowledge & dedication towards making a movie.......The movie is unpleasingly trash, & last but not the least I would like to menion that the budget of the movie was about a "5 million dollars.. But the Box office hardly made about "3 thousand dollars ...which is the lowest revenue a movie ever made, & That's the very reason why it was trash & didn't make it up .mmm Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member So freaking witty but not trying to hard. I cant see how this movie didnt do better unless people wanted it to be something else which I dont doubt from this entitled society xD Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was a pleasant surprise as it was genuinely sweet and funny. The 3 stars are for Aaron Eckhart. However, Elizabeth banks character needed more character development as did Jessica Alba's Lucy; I'm still not sure what her purpose was. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie gets better with each viewing. I loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather likeable comedy drama with Eckhart and Logan as a great twosome. Alba is rather wet and dull but I couldn't get enough of the father and son relationship of the elders. Eckhart mentors Logan but as the film progresses you clearly see its all the other way around Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
