TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Renaissance Man is an exceptionally unoriginal comedy with a heart-tugging streak as big as Fort Bragg, but it succeeds perfectly well on its own unambitious terms.

The New York Times - Janet Maslin
Inherently condescending, and finally awash in warm-bath sentimentality, this setup never goes out of style.
50
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The big underachiever turns out to be DeVito, who is incapable of exhibiting believable warmth and complexity, or, indeed, of playing anyone who is not a cartoon.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Renaissance Man is a movie of moments, too many of which are mediocre or unfulfilling.

Washington Post - Unnamed
This is not brilliant emotional manipulation.
