This almost totally fails as a comedy, with broad, unfunny, dumb jokes (such as Wilson and a young boy urinating on each other), though it's marginally better during the goopy, heartwarming parts.

Distinguished mainly by its overqualified cast and lack of inspiration, "Father Figures" can't decide whether it's a gross-out comedy or an uplifting tale of brotherly love; it embraces the worst of both worlds.

At first [Helms and Wilson] seem incompatible. But their journey through family secrets delivers surprising charm.

Father Figures is not just painfully anti-charming, it is transparently desperate.

Director Sher shows no special affinity for comic pacing or enlivening dialogue scenes, so the movie just plods from scene to scene, building no momentum.

...inoffensively entertaining virtually from start to finish.

"Father Figures" completely wastes its comedic cast, especially since it doesn't produce even one hearty laugh.

Lawrence Sher's direction may be no more than workmanlike, but at least he stays out of everyone's way.

Both unfunny and uninspired.

None of the pieces comfortably fit with any of the ones that sit alongside of them. Worse, it's just didn't make me laugh, and for a holiday comedy that just might be the most unfortunate misstep of them all.

"Father Figures" is what happens when you throw a comedy and the laughs forget to show up.

Would you like to watch Wilson and a young child urinate on each other in a rest stop bathroom? Thought not.
