The movie might have worked if it had been a satire of those awful made-for-TV Family Problem Movies. Unfortunately, it does not seem to know it is funny.

Top CriticProduced, directed and even partially scripted by Newman, the story about a man suffering from a heart condition is hardly exciting or rewarding material.

A decently intentioned but rather drab mess of a movie.

The film is definitely overlong, bordering on the dull.

Fuzzily conceived and indecisively executed, Harry & Son represents a deeply disappointing return to the director's chair for Paul Newman.

OK pairing of Paul Newman and Robby Benson in domestic drama.
