Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
For all its eagerness to please, you'd think Father of Invention could come up with at least one sister of independence.

rotten:
Highly predictable...

rotten:
The screenplay, by Mr. Cooper and Jonathan D. Krane, is so sketchy that it feels like a hastily executed first draft.

rotten:
The film promises a nasty little satire for a while but finally goes soft and self-pitying.

rotten:
Colorless exposition and a lack of imagination or wit stall Father of Invention at the starting gate.
