Fathers' Day Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ
February 23, 2025
What a brilliantly funny film. Both Robin Williams and Billy Crystal are hilarious together. It was a bit sad in the end when one (I wont spoil it for you to say who) of the fathers are told he isn't really 'the daddy'. I definitely would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good laugh out loud. Robin W certainly was a much missed genius.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Williams and Crystal often supply, through their ad libs, what the writers may have left out.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
There is something faintly depressing about seeing an inspired comedian like Robin Williams and a clever one like Billy Crystal starring in a movie that might just as well have been based on My Two Dads.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Hey, it sounded good on paper.
Seattle Times
Doug Thomas
Fans of Crystal and Williams certainly will enjoy the pairing, but this is far from their most inspired work.
New York Daily News
Robert Dominguez
Despite some laughs, there's not much of a story. But at least Williams and Crystal, old pals off the screen, seem to be enjoying themselves.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
I had the disquieting sensation not of seeing two funny men but of watching two comedians from a distant age go through the motions of what they, all evidence to the contrary, still believe to be funny.
CNN.com
Carol Buckland
Father's Day has a few laugh-out-loud sequences, but it's nothing to celebrate.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
A movie of implacable unfunniness.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
For the comic actors, this project -- an enjoyable synthesis of improvisation and adherence to the original story -- seems almost too easy. You wonder why it took them so long.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Add to these problems the fact that Fathers' Day is a comedy starring two reputedly hilarious people who don't make you laugh once, and you have a movie that would be great if everything about it weren't terrible.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ivan Reitman directs Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel's adaptation like standard-issue sitcom, inviting Williams to pursue his usual overacting shtick.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Robin Williams and Billy Crystal can each provoke a lot more laughs in a minute of standup than they jointly manage during the entire running time of Fathers' Day.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Enjoy it, forget it, move on.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Inoffensive, predictable, obvious, Fathers' Day is all the things a major studio comedy wants and needs to be. If you noticed that funny is not on the list, go to the head of the class.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
There are some slow patches and formulaic touches, but that's a fair trade for the fun of watching Mr. Williams and Mr. Crystal make an irresistible comic team.
USA Today
Mike Clark
No masterpiece but undeniably heavy on laughs, the movie is put over by the buffed, lubricated dynamics of two leads who substantially transcend what is otherwise a borderline tepid dose of family values.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Fathers' Day offers little in the way of comic relief.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Father's Day is a brainless feature-length sitcom with too much sit and no com.
