When we meet Bob Funk, he isn’t much of a role model for the upwardly mobile Generation X or anyone for that matter. For starters, he is laudably outspoken, crass and seemingly reprehensible. With serious ex-wife and family issues, he has no idea how to be sober and human in his own skin. As a result, Bob has become acerbic yet irreverently charming with just about everybody he runs into. Bob’s life take a turn however when an attractive young executive joins the family company run by his mother, and becomes the object of his affection. Can the lovely Miss Thorne see past this cad to true love? (Cinema Epoch)

Los Angeles Times Gary Goldstein

If you can get through the tedious first half of Bob Funk, there's actually a decent little character study waiting on the other side.

The New York Times Nathan Lee

Looks like a comedy, acts like a comedy and sounds like a comedy, but it isn't funny. This is a problem in a movie that aims for laughs.

Village Voice Melissa Anderson

With all due respect to Leo Tolstoy, all unhappy film families in which someone ascends those "12 steps" are exactly alike.
