Even the film stock's colour tint looks cheap and nasty. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten

Just horrible.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

A generic time-waster powered by a lazy, cynical combination of scatological kiddie humor and maudlin sentiment.

Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten

The juvenile actors come off as movie brats, and the pacing is slowed by treacly speeches about father-son bonding. As a child star on The Wonder Years, director Fred Savage worked with some of TV's best, but you'd never guess it from this.

Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
Rotten

Because he's an Oscar winner with a rep now for headlining turkeys, watching Cuba Gooding Jr. in trash like Daddy Day Camp almost hurts.
