Reception
Critical response
The newspaper La Nación described the film as "Good", noting that "The plot achieves what it set out to do: to entertain with successful gags, funny dialogues and situations."
While the film critic Ezequiel Boetti from Escribiendo Cine rated it with a score of 4 out of 10, describing it as "a cinematic concoction that includes from sports competitions to the worst clichés in Argentine films.", "an ad infinitum concatenation of the worst things in local filmmaking." and negatively highlighted "the thick writing with which the scriptwriters portrayed the two female leads".
Also 4 out of 10 was the rating of Diego Battle from Otros Cines, who pointed out that "the script by Jorge Maestro is quite disappointing, inferior than -to name a few other works by its author- products like Pelito, La Banda del Golden Rocket or Montaña Rusa. In this very weak film stereotypes, caricatures, simplifications, superficial things and clichés abound. The plot is uninspired, there is not much grace, neither emotion, nor sensitivity, neither humanity nor audacity."
For its part, the newspaper Clarín described it as "Average".
Box office
The film reached 480,568 viewers, reaching 20th place in the 2009 Argentine box office ranking. Dad for a Day grossed a total of $1.866.255 million.
