The film received unrelenting criticism from film critics. The 98 media included on the Rotten Tomatoes website had a freshness rate of only 15%, and 31 media outlets from MetaCritic scored 31 points. "Philadelphia Inquirer" stated that "Single Parent Resort" threw too many things on the screen, and finally had to face the embarrassment and hypocritical "romance" that it brought, and everything seemed disgusting. "Chicago Sun" stated that this cliché, cynical, and sometimes offensive idiot movie that caters to the audience redefines what shamelessness is.
Adam Sandler seems to be going downhill in 2014. In "Single Parent Resort", he once again partnered with Drew Barrymore. In 2004, the two of them could also play "50 First Loves". Now they can only become single divorced parents and take their children on vacation in Africa. Lack of sparks, passable.
