What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It gets very very silly... But for much younger kids, they may enjoy it. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Angie Han FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A pretty sweet and cute comedy... Jennifer Garner is famously likable, and she's likable here. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au What you think it's going to be is exactly what you're going to get. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Tania Hussain popculture. Yes Day is a charmingly wholesome and sweet family movie, but it's also not entirely inventive. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Yes Day may feel familiar to fans of family-friendly entertainment, but it’s a wholly amusing adventure nonetheless thanks to its enjoyable ensemble cast.

Audience Member O filme é incrível demais! Apresenta a união de uma família, um feriado de diversão, onde que se deve dizer sim pra tudo, é bem engraçado e confortante ao mesmo tempo. Amei quando a Allison subiu no palco e cantou a música que sua filha gostava, no final deu pra perceber que as amigas de Katie eram falsas, as festas bagunçadas do Evan, terminaram limpas por causa do seu Pai Carlos, no final a espuma da festa foi pra fora da casa, teve um mini acampamento no quintal onde eles jogavam e a Katie viu o Gorila que ganhou, a Ellie é muito fofa, engraçada também. AMEI O FILME, PRINCIPALMENTE PORQUE MINHA ATRIZ FAVORITA ESTÁ NELE! A JENNA ORTEGA. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Leovanni E Terrible Film That Should've Never Existed Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Jeffrey M For me, Yes Day is the definition of a kid friendly movie. At least, I think so, because I am still a kid. Even though I'm a kid, this movie is just too silly and cheesy for me to enjoy. My sister enjoyed it, though, but it's probably because she's a bit younger than me. In the beginning the movie felt pretty clever and it had some funny jokes. Then the middle to end was just the family having fun, that's it. I just wish a lit more conflict would happen. I would give this movie a 46% out of 💯. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Martha T The worse way to show how to do bad parenting. Obviously for the movie is fine, now obviously to my kids yes day would be only for them to say yes 😉. Do homework etc. So 100% unrealistic. Could be better, no way anyone would ruin their car with water passing on the car wash. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review J M I was SO with this movie for the first half of its running time. It reminded me of some of the great memories I experienced while watching Disney fare such as THE PARENT TRAP and FREAKY FRIDAY. Unfortunately, the second half goes so off the rails that it becomes a totally different movie and loses the goodwill that it has garnered up until that point. It's a very schizophrenic experience! Now, I understand that the movies I previously referenced aren't exactly the height of reality, but even in their most outrageous moments, they retained a sense of purpose and integrity, in their own way. The filmmakers here seem to have felt a need to go so over the top and desperate to retain the viewers' attention that they threw in everything AND the kitchen sink - it's just too much and ruins the innocent beauty of the first half. There's lots to like here - including a few wonderfully funny albeit small supporting performances that add to the merriment. I personally can't in good conscience recommend this, but at the same time, family films are so few and far between that you and your kids might find lots to like here. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Teddy B This film could have worked so well if it went down the route of a dark comedy rather than simple milquetoast family fodder. The performances in this film were strangely annoying, Jenna Ortega's is unfortunately stuck with such an insufferable prat of a character especially. The premise ticks off the blandest routes to take with an idea like this and don't really do anything unique with its locations. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
