Getting Even with Dad Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
This seems to be the work not of screenwriters but of Hollywood marketing executives who believe movies are popular because they tell audiences what they want to hear.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Tone: Home Alone-style slapstick with occasional (almost random) heart-tugging.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
Perhaps blackmail isn't an easy subject to warm up to, or robbery the best ground to rebuild a relationship on, but with a little care, some added ingredients and a bit more spice, Getting Even With Dad could have been a satisfying [film].
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The new summer movies don't get much more formulaic than this bald attempt to capture the audience that can't wait to see the next three or four installments of Home Alone.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here is a movie with broad ambitions: It wants to be a caper, a comedy, a romance, and a showcase for MacAulay Culkin. That's too much of a stretch.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The dysfunctional family in this film is little more than a shameless plot device to introduce a lame father/son bonding adventure.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
It probably sounded terrific in the pitch meeting.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
When toddlers are tipping the punchlines, it's time for rewrite.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The only point to this movie is to make Macaulay a millionaire.
Baltimore Sun
Stephen Hunter
Culkin is Culkin, cute and malleable, absolutely empty, absolutely precious, absolutely irritating.
New York Times
Caryn James
The film should have been a roller coaster ride; instead, watching it is like trudging through a swamp.
Los Angeles Times
Peter Rainer
It's all a bit smug and suspect.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Neither Macaulay Culkin nor Ted Danson has improved his luck in selecting projects with this schizophrenic comedy.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Who, exactly, is supposed to fall for this stuff?
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's so monotonously unimaginative that it practically qualifies as child abuse.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
A charming, amusing comedy for the whole family
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Candice Russell
It can't decide whether to be a mushy valentine to the dad-son relationship, masculine style, or a not-very-clever comedy.
TV Guide
The film's greatest liability is Culkin, grown awkwardly out of his Home Alone cuteness into a Stepford Child star.
