Leave your thoughts about Domestic Disturbance.
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's all indifferently acted, sloppily directed and edited, and utterly ridiculous. |
| culturevulture.netBob AulertA small and fuzzy blip in an already very bad film year, as nondescript and uninvolving as its title. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonDoes a masterful job of building menace until about halfway through. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA thriller that presses all the buttons: parental love, childhood terror, fear of Vince Vaughn. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEvery signifier in this quintessentially American domestic thriller is in satisfying running order. |
| Matinee MagazineJason ClarkThis is low-grade Lifetime fodder at best |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordCross 1949's "The Window" with 1987's "The Stepfather," plus a small dash of "Message in a Bottle" and you've got "Domestic Disturbance." |

| Screen It!Jim JudyAnother mediocre one where things either don't make sense or are too predictable and familiar. |
