Loups-Garous

Family Pack attempts a modern, quirky spin on a medieval adventure, but sadly, it misses the mark on nearly every front. The acting is shockingly poor, with the cast delivering lines so awkwardly and out of place that you wonder if they're trying to parody themselves. Their attempts at humor fall flat, making several scenes almost painful to watch as they fumble through punchlines with zero finesse.

The plot feels like a weak knock-off of Jumanji, though without any of the charm or coherence. Scenes unfold with no clear direction, bouncing aimlessly from one setup to the next. Even more puzzling is the random appearance of Leonardo da Vinci, who seems to be there purely to tick a box rather than to add anything meaningful to the story.

Adding to the confusion are clumsy, heavy-handed attempts to push social messages about race and gender roles in the Middle Ages. These themes feel forced, overly simplistic, and ultimately ineffective, dragging the movie down even further. All in all, Family Pack is a chaotic mix of bad writing, poor acting, and misguided social commentary, and unfortunately, it's not even entertaining in a "so bad it's good" way.

This works. Or atleast the classical concept that we seen before, as in "Jumanji". But this time with a "horror" twist to it and it does not makes it any better.

Not often i watch French films, so I didnt know what to expect at all. I was intrigued by this since the first teaser trailer and i saw Jean Reno was in it, one of my favourite actors and that this really fits for the October days.

This feels really bad at some moments, abit silly sometimes, but it also manages to be abit more entertaining in periods. It's definitely a family movie that works on a friday evening, but not more then that. We have seen this concept before and the manuscript is really bad, nothing new or unique at all.

Jean Reno does a good performance, but the other actors are abit worse.

You can definitely watch this with your family on a weekend, but dont really expect too much from it.

Family Pack is a film most delightful, balancing simplicity with a spirited charm that warms the heart. It may not dazzle with a plot of intricate depth nor boast grand cinematic achievements, yet therein lies its unique allure. The film embraces its modest presentation, favouring practical effects that bring to life its whimsical elements, in a manner reminiscent of days when visual splendour required genuine artistry rather than reliance upon modern devices. Such choices impart a nostalgic comfort, reminiscent of family gatherings round the hearth.

While the picture may not be regarded as a pinnacle of the cinematic arts, its light-hearted humour and warmth make it a jovial companion for an evening of familial bonding. It is a gentle adventure, unsullied by grand pretensions, and aimed squarely at delivering mirth and pleasant company. A modest triumph, indeed, for those who seek joy in simplicity and find solace in a narrative that refuses to overreach its genial intentions.

Watching this French movie was such a waste of time!

At first, I thought it was a remake or copy of the very successful 1993 French movie "Les Visiteurs" (The Visitors), one of the most popular and best at the box office in France. Jean Reno was also the lead actor in 'The Visitors."

I understand now it was about the werewolves game "Les Loups-garous de Thiercelieux", which I'm sure not many are familiar with.

Bottom line. It's a stupid silly movie that does not make much sense. The poor performance and overacting of the actors (who are not credible) do not help.

Quite confusing to watch.

It's a turkey!

A French turkey. Lol.

"Loups-Garous" is an enjoyable watch that doesn't demand much mental investment. It's the kind of movie where you can sit back, relax, and let yourself be entertained without overthinking the plot. The light-hearted tone, paired with witty dialogue, makes it an accessible and fun experience for casual viewers. You can also tell that the cast is having a great time bringing their characters to life, which adds an extra layer of charm to the film.

That said, the movie does leave some opportunities unexplored. In particular, the theme of family relationships feels underdeveloped. While the story hints at deeper emotional connections, it never quite dives into them, which might leave viewers craving more depth. Still, this doesn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment-it's clear that this isn't trying to be a heavy or overly complex movie.

In the end, *"Loups-Garous"* is a solid popcorn flick that delivers exactly what it promises: entertainment. It might not be groundbreaking, but it's definitely worth a watch for fans of light-hearted sci-fi or action.
