Reception Critical reception for the film has been mixed. The AV Club described Treehouse Hostage as a "rather dismal Disney Channel movie". Video Business was more favorable, as they felt "Harmless enough summer-vacation video fare, Hostage is bright and clever without relying on Varney's wom-out Ernest persona for laughs." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram also rated the film favorably.
