Critic Reviews

  • Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader

    There's a discernible lack of enthusiasm from almost everyone involved, and Duff, who's gone from wholesome to haggard in two short years, is flat-out scary.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    This is definitely a family trip to stay home and skip.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    There's something pernicious about a toxic mix of sitcom and snickering sex jokes getting packaged and effectively sold as wholesome fun for the family.

  • Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly

    A family fantasy that plays at being happy and picture-perfect but primarily comes off as fake and dismayingly unfunny.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    I wonder how many meetings they had before they came up with that title. And didn't we just see this movie a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't it called Yours, Mine and Ours?

    I think the first one was better. This one looked just lame. And what happened to the first son's girlfriend? They looked so lovey dovey in the first movie. And what happened to Hilary? I mean she looked so old over here.

    Very different from the first film. The story is more complex and the humor is more cruder. Steve Martin again delivers a funny performance and so does Eugene Levy. Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Baker is again funny and Carmen Electra needed some help but she was okay. There are like twenty… More
