"The Chaperone" is dreadful enough to make you wish Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was still making family movies.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
Presumably there's an audience out there for old-fashioned, poorly written, unevenly thesped, family-friendly tales of redemption starring beefy wrestlers and a bunch of kids, but it's difficult to imagine who.
Ronnie Scheib, Variety

This lame WWE produced family comedy isn't likely to turn wrestling star Paul "Triple H" Levesque into a household name.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Like last year's "Legendary" and "Knucklehead," which didn't exactly slam moviegoers to the mat with their entertainment chops, this haphazardly cliched comedy-drama about redemption similarly suffers.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
