The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
A sweet if predictable tale about teaching and learning and parents and kids, it's all made easier on the eyes by Grant, whose trademark suaveness never allows him to quite slip into the role of bedraggled father of five. [19 Nov 2005, p.9] - 75
TV Guide Magazine
The story's authenticity was enhanced by the real-life marriage of Grant and Drake and their resulting on-screen rapport. - 70
The New York Times
Room for One More makes for generally appealing movie fare. So long as this anecdotal look-in upon the experience of a husband and wife in bringing up two foster children, as well as three of their own, sticks simply to the humorous complications that arise in a house full of kids, plus appropriate livestock and paraphernalia, it has genuine gaiety and domestic charm.
