June 23, 2011Not Robin Williams at his finest, although it was funny in some scenes. Not that well plotted out either.
-
January 6, 2007Crystal and Williams try to out mug each other in a desperately unfunny schmaltz fest.
-
February 27, 2009One of those silly outrageous movies that is just funny so we don't care.
-
July 28, 2007Predictable, unimportant, and unnecessary movie. (Although I do like both of these actors a lot in other films!)
-
February 23, 2010funny at times but enjoyable father's day it may sound corny or bad with billy crystal but it is a funny and enjoyable comedy and it is sad at times also.

April 1, 2009What a funny, kinda scary movie. It brought the family back together and they all became close. Each learned a lesson and thank goodness no one was seriously hurt. One must never steal.

April 20, 2007There is a reason why Williams and Crystal only did one movie together. Crystal got fed up with Williams stealing his spotlight. It's why Comic Relief died with it.

April 4, 2007I caught this on tv a few weeks ago, and I have to say it was a disappointment. It has some laughs, but it's not near what it could have been, in my opinion. If you're a fan of Billy Crystal or Robin Williams, catch it, but you may be let down. I was.

January 17, 2007I enjoyd this movie when I was a kid. i haven't seen it since then, so I guess I'm not sure what I would think now.

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
A bland, labored, poorly written would-be comedy without a single laugh.
June 23, 2004
Judith Egerton, Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
A lame plot and less than hilarious lines by two of the funniest men in the world...make Father's Day more of a downer than an uproarious good time. Full Review

Frank Ochieng, Movie Eye
An uneven and uninspired farce starring the normally riotous Crystal and Williams.
November 18, 2003
Clint Morris, Moviehole
Crystal and Williams are a must-see match
August 20, 2003
Shawn Bowers, Kansas City Star
Not really memorable except for the fact that it was a box-office failure, even the performances of the two comedy stars can't save it from itself.
December 25, 2002
Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Two comic minds, one disappointing movie.
May 31, 2002
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Ivan Reitman parece ter acreditado que bastava colocar Billy Crystal e Robin Williams juntos e gritar 'Ação!'. Não basta. Full Review
