	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An aggressively cute kid-flick grounded by Davis' no-nonsense character (...) Gaffigan and Janney offer just what their parts in the story need"	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"The beating heart of the story is McKenna Grace’s sparkling performance (...) 'Troop Zero' goes down easy like the best cinematic comfort food. But it’s a testament to the clear vision of director Bert & Bertie"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"It feels reheated and stale (...) There’s not much imagination or daring to the relationships, and most of the characters feel like cartoons instead of real people."	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"[It] reinvents the wheel nor even attempts to redesign it all that much, but at least it gets where it wants to go (...) Christmas quickly emerges as a genuinely unique character"	POS
United States	Jordan Raup The Film Stage	"As if created in a random Sundance movie generator, 'Troop Zero' has quirkiness for days (...) A well-intentioned, yet ultimately forgettable experience."	NEG
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The New York Times	"[It] hits familiar beats, but is elevated by its cast (...) What 'Troop Zero' lacks in complexity, it makes up for in heart."	POS
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"A movie you’ve seen a million times before (...) It is an innocuous, pleasant enough way to kill a few hours (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
