Little did they know that they'd be going on a whirlwind adventure around Los Angeles, that would bring the family closer to each other than ever before.

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.

3.5/5

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.

2.5/5

The ending scrambles to get back to the sweetness and charm of the earlier moments, but the high-volume silliness and the artery-clogging cheese that comes before it makes it hard to readjust.

If Allison is viewed as a dictator, I wonder what these brats will even say about my household. The kids get to choose five major yeses or mom loses the bet. They were supposed to ask for things like, yes—ice cream for breakfast—but I thought the rules clearly had monetary caps. A windows down car wash is out of bounds! The cast is charming. I feel like the kid who played Ellie (the youngest) had such a blank face and uninteresting delivery. She sucked, no offense. Jennifer Garner and Jenna Ortega are my favourites. It is a fun movie—heartfelt and entertaining. There is nothing extraordinary about it. It could come off as far-fetched or quite annoying.

It is a cute movie. My only compliment is when the daughter was at the concert. I have been to a lot of concerts and there is no way that everyone would be mean to her like that.
