Reviews

TV Guide Magazine -
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 -
Inherently condescending, and finally awash in warm-bath sentimentality, this setup never goes out of style.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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 -
Renaissance Man is a movie of moments, too many of which are mediocre or unfulfilling.

|
Washington Post -
This is not brilliant emotional manipulation.
