TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Overly formulaic and tonally inconsistent, Getting Even with Dad tries for a sentimental conclusion it doesn't earn and winds up a slapsticky cash grab aimed at fans of Home Alone.

Critic Reviews for Getting Even With Dad
All Critics (30) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (29)
The film should have been a roller coaster ride; instead, watching it is like trudging through a swamp.
The new summer movies don't get much more formulaic than this bald attempt to capture the audience that can't wait to see the next three or four installments of Home Alone.
This seems to be the work not of screenwriters but of Hollywood marketing executives who believe movies are popular because they tell audiences what they want to hear.
It's all a bit smug and suspect.
Tone: Home Alone-style slapstick with occasional (almost random) heart-tugging.
Neither Macaulay Culkin nor Ted Danson has improved his luck in selecting projects with this schizophrenic comedy.
Audience Reviews for Getting Even With Dad
a very funny family movie that makes getting even with your dad fun and hillarious. A
Super Reviewer
Pretty fair movie, but not one I'd call "good." I have on VHS a movie that my dad taped of me and my aunts, cousins, etc., and my step-grandmother said when this movie's trailer came on tv, "That's going to be good." It's ok, but not good.
Super Reviewer
One of Macaulay Culkin's few movies after Home Alone where he tried hard to keep that "I'm a naughty cute kid" act that just didn't work for him anymore.
