A heavyset daughter who never talks but eats a lot is named Delightful, which is supposed to be funny. That pretty much sums up the movie's comic tone.

Mike Clark, USA Today

While Kingdom Come follows the formula for comic combustibility, it's even more inert than Bud, who at least comes to life for a brief fantasy sequence.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

The structure and style are a staple of many traveling black stage shows ... What slays them in the second balcony, though, flattens on the screen.

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

A mediocre sitcom writ large.

Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh

Manages to be profound without being pompous.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
