The 30-somethings rely on one another as they try not to sacrifice being men for being dads while facing the challenges of work, relationships and maintaining a social life beyond play dates. They may not yet feel mature enough for fatherhood, but they will work it out together.

Jimmy Fallon must be in it for the money, (not the funny.) Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 09/26/2012

Shows a profound misunderstanding not only of what entertainment is but also of the last 30 years in the evolution of the American family. Go to Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago 07/03/2018
Guys With Kids never really succeeds at being particularly funny, but had it not focused so heavily on Chris and Sheila's dysfunctional relationship, it might have avoided being actively offensive. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
