A bland, labored, poorly written would-be comedy without a single laugh.

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.

An uneven and uninspired farce starring the normally riotous Crystal and Williams.

Crystal and Williams are a must-see match

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.

Ivan Reitman parece ter acreditado que bastava colocar Billy Crystal e Robin Williams juntos e gritar 'Ação!'. Não basta.
