Washington Post
Crystal’s deadpan expressions and one liners interlock perfectly with Williams’s multiple personalities and verbal asides. They’re like basketball all-stars flipping no-look passes, trading slam-dunks and practically chest-bumping each other. Director Ivan Reitman doesn’t have to do more than keep time. - 75
Chicago Tribune
It's just another Williams and Crystal movie. But let's see a few more. - 70
The New York Times
Not surprisingly, there are some slow patches and formulaic touches, but that's a fair trade for the fun of watching Mr. Williams and Mr. Crystal make an irresistible comic team. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
How much you enjoy the film will depend entirely on how much you enjoy the spectacle of Williams spewing forth streams of nonsensical gibberish in an attempt to impersonate a German record producer, and Crystal pitching snit fits. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
If Fathers’ Day really had been released in the mid-’80s, I’d have said it was so funny I forgot to laugh. - 30
Variety
Robin Williams and Billy Crystal can each provoke a lot more laughs in a minute of standup than they jointly manage during the entire running time of Fathers' Day. - 25
Chicago Sun-Times
A brainless feature-length sitcom with too much sit and no com. - 25
ReelViews
Travesty.
