      The Hollywood Reporter

      The film is an optimistic yet affecting exploration of how fatherhood has evolved over the years and how far it still needs to go.

      A lot of this is figuratively and literally standup material, with the interview subjects framed head-to-toe in front of bright, primary-colored backdrops, and keeping things as light as possible.

      Variety

      It’s mostly a vanilla documentary with no real destination, but one with plenty of cuteness to go around.

      The Guardian

      As the daughter of director Ron Howard, widely regarded as one of nicest men in Hollywood, Howard is herself blessed in the dad department; he is very likable here. His only parenting crime seems to have been to film the birth of all four of his kids. But the rest of the Hollywood contributions are irritatingly platitudinous.

      Nothing here is especially revealing or deep; but the doc is pleasantly positive, and it does have something to say about how the expectations for dads today are higher than ever.
