Instructions Not Included Ratings & Reviews
Way Too Indie
Bernard Boo
Instructions Not Included's humor, while effective, feels confused as to who it's aimed at. The physical gags are unapologetically slapstick and cartoony.
jackiekcooper.com
Jackie K. Cooper
Surprisingly touching father/daughter story. Humor and heart make a winning combination.
Paste Magazine
Abby Garnett
Derbez, a sharp comedic actor with an emotive face, ably shoulders most of the film's emotional burden.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Unevenly handled, slurrying emotions in a way that feels careless rather than cleverly unconventional.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Mix of comedy and tragedy in Mexican dad-daughter tale.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
A sloppy melange of unpersuasive melodrama, amateurish mugging, unfunny comedy and mawkish sentimentality.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
Charming and entertaining, if overlong and a bit too melodramatic, Instructions ultimately works because of the cast.
Screen It!
Teddy Durgin
'Instructions Not Included' is definitely not light on its feet. But despite its flaws, it's effective in the end. (Full Parental Review also available)
Fresno Bee
Rick Bentley
Derbez, who also directed the film, gives the movie a strong core through his expressive face.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The film's counterintuitive success is largely due to Derbez, who demonstrates why he is beloved, both south and north of the border.
Variety
Joe Leydon
This sporadically amusing but unduly protracted dramedy devolves into a shameless tearjerker in its third act.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It doesn't transition smoothly between comedy and drama, and the constant mugging of Derbez becomes as tiresome as his character's lack of common sense.
Los Angeles Times
Annlee Ellingson
There's a lot of movie here with unexpected developments, held together by the irresistible chemistry between Derbez and his adorable pint-sized co-star.
RedEye
Matt Pais
Alternately and creepily plays toward young children and horny adults.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Instructions Not Included" is a sweet little movie that is more than it seems to be.
