Critics Consensus

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

It gets very very silly... But for much younger kids, they may enjoy it.

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

I don't understand the bad reviews. This is a family movie for family's with young kids, and it's great for a family movie night.

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.

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 💯.
