Father Figures
Brothers Kyle and Peter Reynolds were raised to believe that their dad died when they were young. They're shocked to discover that their mother lied about his death because she never knew who the biological father was. Setting out on an epic quest to find him, the two siblings soon learn more about their mom's past than they ever wanted to know.

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.

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

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

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

Lawrence Sher's direction may be no more than workmanlike, but at least he stays out of everyone's way.

Both unfunny and uninspired.

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

...inoffensively entertaining virtually from start to finish.

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.

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

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.
