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

[A] meandering, plotless venture.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

[Meet Bill] is artless and abrupt, and once you lay eyes on it, you feel totally cheated.

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

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

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.

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
