San Francisco Chronicle
A harmless and amusing summer comedy. - 60
Dallas Observer
Murphy inhabited Jif like a sweet, innocent child, almost as though he were delighted to shed the cynicism and get down to the sweet, chewy center. Or day-care center, in this case. - 50
New York Post
Only really little tykes will find the surplus of pratfalls and poo and fart jokes a hoot. - 50
Premiere
Moves easily between manic humor and soft, touching moments that get to the heart of what it means to be a parent. - 50
Chicago Tribune
A likable little movie without much to offer but cute tots, recycled gags and a talented cast amiably wasting their time and ours. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
The film seems longer than its 93-minute running time, but kids will probably enjoy its potty humor, many scenes of 4-year-olds getting the better of harried adults and the inevitable moment when a cute little girl kicks the fat guy in the nads. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Across-the-board, the kids are extremely adorable to watch (not an easy thing to pull off) and will appeal to the other kids in the audience who might identify with them and see the story from the kids’ point of view. But looking at this film from any other perspective, will give you brain rot. - 25
Rolling Stone
Murphy looks comatose delivering the played-out poopy jokes.
