O arco dramático vivenciado pelo personagem de Tim Allen consegue, por vezes, comover e despertar uma identificação com o espectador. Pena que o filme, em sua insistência em se afirmar como comédia, tente criar piadas tão vazias e mal-sucedidas.
08/16/03
Much of the running time is devoted to dramatic subplots and other such misguided attempts at pathos.
08/01/03
Bearing clear marks of a film made strictly to pay the bills, its performances are phoned in and its direction is eminently average.
02/08/03
An entertaining diversion and if you want a light film to just sit back and relax to, then this might just be your movie.
12/08/02
A cliched-filled family film with lines and situations so predictable, audiences will be left groaning rather than laughing.

The sort of feeble redemption story Hollywood often palms off on the film-going public.

Not something to write home about.

Top CriticIt has a lot of heart and offers enough amusing situations and lines to keep most viewers happy, at least the female ones.
10/21/02
Pure sitcom material that could easily be polished off in 30 minutes, with laugh track.

If you’re sitting through this flick searching for the two or three mild chuckles, you’re in for an experience akin to that old “needle in a haystack” scenario.
08/20/02
...viewed as something like an expanded television sitcom, the film works pretty well, but do you really want to spend any more than thirty minutes time with it?
