...inoffensively entertaining virtually from start to finish.

"Father Figures" completely wastes its comedic cast, especially since it doesn't produce even one hearty laugh.

None of the pieces comfortably fit with any of the ones that sit alongside of them. Worse, it's just didn't make me laugh, and for a holiday comedy that just might be the most unfortunate misstep of them all.

Both unfunny and uninspired.

At first [Helms and Wilson] seem incompatible. But their journey through family secrets delivers surprising charm.

This almost totally fails as a comedy, with broad, unfunny, dumb jokes (such as Wilson and a young boy urinating on each other), though it's marginally better during the goopy, heartwarming parts.

Director Sher shows no special affinity for comic pacing or enlivening dialogue scenes, so the movie just plods from scene to scene, building no momentum.

"Father Figures" is what happens when you throw a comedy and the laughs forget to show up.

Lawrence Sher's direction may be no more than workmanlike, but at least he stays out of everyone's way.
December 22, 2017
Distinguished mainly by its overqualified cast and lack of inspiration, "Father Figures" can't decide whether it's a gross-out comedy or an uplifting tale of brotherly love; it embraces the worst of both worlds.

Would you like to watch Wilson and a young child urinate on each other in a rest stop bathroom? Thought not.

Father Figures is not just painfully anti-charming, it is transparently desperate.
