Yours, Mine & Ours is receiving a fair share of left-handed compliments. Take Good Morning America's Joel Siegel's appraisal of its star: "I always thought Dennis Quaid was the least funny actor in Hollywood. But he's such a good actor, by the film's end I was ready to say he's only the second or third least funny actor in Hollywood." Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times offers this appraisal: "Dennis Quaid can be the most effortlessly charming of actors, but give him a break: It helps when he has effortlessly charming material." Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News concludes that "Quaid and [costar René] Russo are certainly too good for this kind of time-out from their careers." For the two actors, what it all adds up to, says Phil Kloer in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is "an embarrassing item to their respective IMDb.com listings, and maybe a nice summer home with the paycheck." Or, as Mike Clark puts it similarly in USA Today: "Yours isn't the kind of movie you want on your résumé."
