Village Voice
The fundamental Schwartz touch applies: In the guise of a narrowly targeted tween flick, he has delivered a smart and emotionally satisfying slice of wish fulfillment, tracing how a threatened family finds harmony.

Compared to most teen comedies these days, Fun Size is almost touchingly tame.

Slant Magazine
It pairs modern attitude with John Hughesian tropes, and it's odd enough, in spurts, to boast originality.

By the end of this romp, Fun Size actually accomplished something charming: sentimentality without normality.

Imagine "Little Miss Sunshine's" dark materials (and superior craftsmanship) diluted with a Hannah Montana-like sunny silliness – which is to say: sometimes funny, often broad-stroked, ever sweet, and landing shy of its potential.
