Although the movie was directed by David Steinberg, a comic actor with a good sense of timing, Paternity's timing is so slowpaced and stately that there are times when this doesn't feel like a comedy, it feels like a historical romance.

It's one of the worst movies [Reynolds has] ever made and, worse, he isn't even good in it.

Burt is at his most appealing and self-deprecating playing a character much like himself at the time: A single, middle-age lothario longing to have a child. Charming and funny.
