Peace, Love & Misunderstanding received mixed to negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 30% approval rating, reflecting a generally unfavorable reception. The site's consensus notes that despite a charming cast, the film suffers from predictable storytelling and lacks depth. Metacritic assigns it a score of 45 out of 100, indicating mixed or average reviews. Viewers on IMDb gave it a modest 5.9/10, suggesting moderate audience enjoyment. Critics praised Catherine Keener and Jane Fonda's performances for bringing warmth and credibility to their roles. For instance, The New York Times highlighted the "good-natured cast's sincere efforts" but criticized the screenplay as "formulaic" and "cliché-ridden." Similarly, Variety commented that while the film's themes are relatable, the execution "leaves little to surprise and fails to fully engage." Overall, Peace, Love & Misunderstanding is seen as a lightweight, feel-good movie that struggles to rise above its predictable narrative and feels somewhat dated in its depiction of generational divides.
