Village Voice
The fundamental Schwartz touch applies: In the guise of a narrowly targeted tween flick, he has delivered a smart and emotionally satisfying slice of wish fulfillment, tracing how a threatened family finds harmony. - 63
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Compared to most teen comedies these days, Fun Size is almost touchingly tame. - 63
Slant Magazine
It pairs modern attitude with John Hughesian tropes, and it's odd enough, in spurts, to boast originality. - 60
New York Daily News
By the end of this romp, Fun Size actually accomplished something charming: sentimentality without normality. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Imagine "Little Miss Sunshine's" dark materials (and superior craftsmanship) diluted with a Hannah Montana-like sunny silliness – which is to say: sometimes funny, often broad-stroked, ever sweet, and landing shy of its potential. - 40
Variety
Of course, questionable propriety would be a moot point if the film were consistently funny, but its hit-to-miss ratio is dire. - 38
Boston Globe
All over the map in the details it throws at us, and the level of immaturity it aims for. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
This movie has no courage and little brains, and is salvaged, if at all, only by its heart. There remains a huge market for a great Halloween teen comedy, but Fun Size is the disappointing apple that your crazy-haired neighbor gives you instead of candy.
