Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made Ratings & Reviews
KCTV5 News at 9
Lonita Cook
An odd, but enjoyable flick... This film is what happens when ridiculous and amazing collide.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
It has a wildly, indescribably unlikable protagonist.
CBR
Brandon Zachary
Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made is a perfectly childish film, with the direction, script and cast combining to bring an imaginative sense of wonder.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Refreshingly amusing fantasy sequences can't quite make up for the trite and unfocused aspects of the story ... Fans of mystery/detective stories will be disappointed because crime-solving is not the real attraction.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
There's a sequence about an hour in when "Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made" is briefly jolted from its hard-boiled slumber... More such scenes may have elevated it from simply being fodder for a streaming service.
Nightmarish Conjurings
Shannon McGrew
Timmy Failure: Mistake Were Made is a film that deals with themes such as abandonment and the difficulties of that change can bring while also demonstrating the importance of having hope and positivity.
The Cinema Soloist
Adriana Gomez-Weston
It's a film both kids and adults can enjoy. The film is a heart-warming, and welcome change from Disney's other fare. It marks the beginning of a revival of Disney's creative storytelling that will hopefully be here to stay in the long run.
New York Times
Kyle Turner
There isn't enough in the way of good jokes or clever references... to make the film appealing, and the flatness of Timmy's delivery, which is supposed to scan as deadpan, doesn't contain enough nuances to make much of the humor land.
Consequence
Clint Worthington
A meandering structure and a bit of repetition are immaterial concerns when a kid's movie is as fun and entertaining as this.
Oregonian
Kristi Turnquist
With its delicate balance of fanciful story and real-world details, "Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made" is entertaining both for kids and for adults.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
If you ever wondered what an episode of "Portlandia" would be like as a Disney movie, look no further.
CinemaBlend
Dirk Libbey
While Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made, as the title suggests, makes a couple mistakes, on the whole the film defies its title by being a hilarious and pleasant success.
Screen Rant
Sandy Schaefer
Timmy Failure explores how kids use their imaginations as a buffer against the hardships of growing up in ways that are funny, smart, and heartfelt.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
In fact, the beauty of the story is that, though Timmy is certainly the most idiosyncratic character of the bunch, everyone has his or her own distinctive qualities.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Timmy Failure is a lovely collection of deadpan jokes.
Collider
Matt Goldberg
Tom McCarthy's adaptation is perfect for kids and adults who want to see a story about the power of imagination.
Decider
Anna Menta
Timmy Failure is 99 minutes of fun for parents and kids alike.
Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Fred Topel
The movie has a sweet perspective on these very relatable life issues. It captures being a kid with plans that don't fit other kids or adults.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A charming, very funny film...
Variety
Guy Lodge
In his first feature since 2015's Oscar victor "Spotlight," the quiet humanity of McCarthy's filmmaking meshes oddly with the material's zanier demands, finally reaching an anodyne middle ground.
