- 50Village VoiceElla TaylorVillage VoiceElla TaylorYou get a bargain two high-concepts for the price of one in this amiably lame offering from Stephen Herek, who, once upon a time, cooked up an excellent Adventure for Bill and Ted, then veered off into inspirational goo with "Mr. Holland's Opus."
- 50The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerA lightweight comedy aimed, presumably, at tweeners and fans of World Wrestling Entertainment.
- 50VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibNothing here -- technologically, linguistically or visually -- would not be more at home decades ago, when director Stephen Herek helmed "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "The Mighty Ducks."
- 40Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLevesque has rough, in-the-moment charm but paltry characterization skills, Corrigan's natural edge feels out of place as a Disney-esque hoodlum and Winter seems hamstrung playing an adolescent only a fraction as compelling as her hilariously bookish daughter on the ABC sitcom "Modern Family."
- 40The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLevesque, soon to be seen in an action movie, "Inside Out," that is probably more suited to his talents, is a reasonably engaging and likeable screen presence.
- 38New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickThe Chaperone squanders nice locations and an expert comic performance by Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa Simpson) as the teacher trying to supervise the trip.
- 25Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreNone of the current generation of wrestler-actors seem to have the charisma or comic gifts of a Hulk Hogan or Dwayne Johnson.
- 20Time OutStephen GarrettTime OutStephen GarrettHobbled by contrived situations and atonal acting, The Chaperone is a lazy payday sloppily directed by Hollywood veteran Stephen Herek.
- 16The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe Chaperone is being marketed as a comedy, though no one seems to have told anyone involved.
