Empire -
The whole madcap production is at best faintly amusing, at worst, painfully protracted

ReelViews -
Things might have been okay if this film had gone someplace, anyplace, but it stalls early, then coasts through an hour of minimally-amusing material before screeching to an amazingly improbable stop.

Entertainment Weekly -
Carpool is affably stupid Saturday-matinee fare -- good for opiating the kids for a few hours -- but let's just say it's no Big Bully.

Variety -
Arthur Hiller's pacing is crude, but that seems to be the point.

San Francisco Chronicle -
It's a shame Arnold is stuck on the loudmouth clod schtick, because there are moments he's downright pleasant on screen. But in Carpool, these moments are kept to a minimum.
