| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe only reason I can think of to watch Vivi Friedman's flat, satirical farce The Family Tree - and it's not a good enough reason - is the opportunity to play a game of spot the semi-star. |
| We Got This CoveredSean KernanThe Family Tree is a surprisingly funny dysfunctional family comedy that manages to entertain throughout. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombThin as it is, Family Tree is no slog - the droll, attentive performances by Davis and Mulroney are endearing, and the extraneous guest-star bits (including Christina Hendricks as a secretary, no less) and rambling B stories aren't overly distracting. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenA few trite race and religion jokes goose up what's mostly a sentimental story of a dysfunctional family suddenly and magically learning to function again. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinDirector Vivi Friedman's inability to successfully reconcile the film's duality undercuts an eclectic cast gamely committed to Mark Lisson's thematically ambitious, if scattered, script. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterDavis could play a role like Bunnie in her sleep, Mulroney often seems to be asleep and the rest of the overqualified supporting cast just appears relieved that their screentime is limited. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperThere are too many branches on this tree trying to give every unemployed actor in Hollywood a job. |
| BlackFilm.comWilson MoralesHere's a film that consists of a hodgepodge of blah. Too many subplots are crammed into this dramedy that leaves little for emotion or laughter. |
| New York PostSara StewartFamily Tree, which seems to have been written using indie-film Mad Libs, devolves into way too many quirky subplots. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressThink Overboard with masturbating, asphyxiated teens, gun-toting/weed-smoking priests, lesbian high school teachers preying on her students, a parade of wasted talent, and Bow Wow. |
