Offensive, amateurish and should be avoided, then forgotten. Who's the Daddy? Who cares? Go to Full Review
Eve Barlow Empire Magazine 02/15/2018
1/5
Limp jokes, bad chemistry and the least believable onscreen fraternal bond make for a very lacklustre viewing experience. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Matt Cipolla Film Monthly 07/23/2020
1.5/5
[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. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Father Figures isn't an inherently bad movie, it just suffers from a serious identity crisis. Go to Full Review

Simon M Aug 29 Who wrties this stuff 🙁 See more Chris N Aug 26 Shocking ratings but still enjoyed it. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more John K Aug 6 I was not going to watch this based on the ratings people had given. But quite enjoyed it. See more Joel P Jun 9 Not sure why it got such a low rating. This movie was fun and full of laughs. Great cast and had a lot of twists. Would watch again just to go on the ride again. See more Yuri B @RyuBlack Apr 18 Honestly, this has to be one of the most underwhelming films that I have ever seen. It was the equivalent of going to the dentist and getting a cleaning. See more Read all reviews
