Kyle and Peter Reynolds are fraternal twins who were raised by their mother, Helen, as their father died before they were born. Kyle is dating his pregnant girlfriend, Kaylani, and is wealthy from royalties for his image on BBQ sauce labels. Peter is a divorced with a teenage son who resents him.

| Screen It!Teddy DurginIf you go to "Father Figures" not expecting too much, just hoping not to be let down, I think you'll have a good time. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, etc. - also Available) |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneLawrence Sher's direction may be no more than workmanlike, but at least he stays out of everyone's way. |
| Detroit NewsAdam Graham"Father Figures" is what happens when you throw a comedy and the laughs forget to show up. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottWhatever you call it, first time director Lawrence Sher's film is sometimes funny. |
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlHelms and Wilson are sometimes a stretch as brothers, especially in the more emotional scenes. But Close is majestic as the mother, a supporting role that feels bigger than it is. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...inoffensively entertaining virtually from start to finish. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergDistinguished 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. |
| National PostTina HassanniaThe film spends too much time trying to be as meaningful with its comedy as it is raunchy. |
| Screen ZealotsLouisa MooreFather Figures isn't an inherently bad movie, it just suffers from a serious identity crisis. |
| IGN MoviesAlex WelchFather Figures is a baffling film, one that never seems to ever get a handle on what it is or what it wants to be. It’s one thing to make a movie about characters stuck in arrested development, unsure of where they’re going, but it’s another for the writing and editing to also feel that way. In short, Father Figures is just a straight-up mess. |
