Father Figures (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tara Brady Irish Times Come back, Daddy's Home 2; all is forgiven! Rated: 1/5 Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Father Figures (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Linda Marric HeyUGuys Offensive, amateurish and should be avoided, then forgotten. Who's the Daddy? Who cares? Rated: 1/5 Feb 16, 2018 Full Review Father Figures (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Eve Barlow Empire Magazine Limp jokes, bad chemistry and the least believable onscreen fraternal bond make for a very lacklustre viewing experience. Rated: 1/5 Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Father Figures (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It's difficult to ascertain what's harder to take in this laugh-free comedy: the sentimental bits or the expected dashes of witless crudity. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Father Figures (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Matt Cipolla Film Monthly [It's] fueled on the fumes of jokes that maybe could have passed in the early 2000s. In what's almost 2018, the blandness that it bleeds makes it as boring as it is unfunny. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Father Figures (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Father Figures isn't an inherently bad movie, it just suffers from a serious identity crisis.

Georgan G A solid comedy that will also melt your heart. Silly plot but good message on love & family. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie! Although it was a bit long, it had a feel good ending Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review James T I love the main actors in this movie but it was a huge disappointment. Comedies should make you laugh. I didn't laugh once...i like to laugh. Sad really. If you also like to laugh when you watch a comedy movie. Don't bother with this one. Sorry. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Audience Member It is what it is, stupid fun. I don't understand why all the bad reviews because it isn't trying to be anything more than a dumb buddy, road trip comedy. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheezy overall, but a silly fun adventure that you don't have to put a lot of thought into and it has Terry Bradshaw in it so it's good. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Al principio debo ser honesta, pensé que sería otra burda comedia soez y vulgar, y aunque tiene algunas partes medio fuera de tono, el mensaje principal fue GENIAL!! Tiene un poco de todo y más, 100% recomendable!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
