Critics Consensus

Yes Day fails to take full advantage of its wish-fulfillment premise, aiming for family fun but settling for harmlessly mediocre.

A pretty sweet and cute comedy... Jennifer Garner is famously likable, and she's likable here.

Yes Day is a charmingly wholesome and sweet family movie, but it's also not entirely inventive.

The characters are incredibly likeable, it's high energy from start to finish, and is full of enjoyment and endearing pleasure all the way through.
