Loving parents Alex and Greg are faced with the daunting task of applying to private kindergartens in Brooklyn, New York City for their 4-year-old, Jake. Competing in this cutthroat environment means focusing on what is most unique about a child, forcing Alex and Greg to consider Jake's love of dresses, fairy tales, and princesses. These qualities never seemed unusual before, but when Jake begins to act out in preschool, Alex and Greg must find a way to support Jake's identity without losing each other in the process.

Glenn Kenny of The New York Times stated, "A Kid Like Jake is humane, compassionate and strangely detached, almost to the point of inconsequentiality. [...] It's probably difficult to get a child to credibly perform this role. The actor is present, but the character is absent. And this throws the movie off balance."
Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times called the film a "modest but effective parenting drama" and noted, "Though its vibe is often too meandering, A Kid Like Jake shows that even the most accepting of environments aren't immune to the vulnerabilities and worries coursing through any well-intended parent's soul."
Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post wrote, "The only thing missing from the film is its title character" and "A Kid Like Jake is coming from an unassailably benevolent place, but it insists on holding its nominal protagonist at frustrating arm's length."
Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as a "simply lovely comedy-drama" and commented, "Howard elicits superb performances not just from the leads but from the crack cast of supports."
David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a "B−" grade and opined, "Pearle's script admirably tries to make this story feel much bigger than it ever could on stage, but the movie flounders whenever it tries to pad out the sharp conversation scenes from the original version, or provide them with new context."
Amy Nicholson of Variety wrote, "Howard's film is adamantly realistic, which means everyone behaves as politely as possible until hell breaks loose in the final act. The movie doesn't feel like it's going anywhere until it explodes, and the dazzling fireworks don't quite offset its long, seemingly aimless fuse."
Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and remarked, "Danes and Parsons have an effortless, evolving chemistry that's always compelling. They enjoy an easy banter with each other at the film's start, which gives way to more prickly exchanges as the story grows more complicated."
