Larger than Life was met with mixed to negative reviews from critics, who found its premise intriguing but ultimately underdeveloped and not particularly funny. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, leading to a disappointing box office performance.

• Praised for its quirky premise and Bill Murray's performance, but criticized for a lack of consistent humor and a meandering plot.
• Some critics found the father-son dynamic and the absurdity of the central situation engaging, though it often failed to land comedic beats.
• The film's fantastical element was seen as a missed opportunity to explore deeper themes, leaving it feeling somewhat hollow.

Google audience: Google users largely found the film to be a peculiar but somewhat forgettable comedy, with many appreciating Bill Murray's presence but lamenting the weak storyline and underdeveloped humor.
