Loups-Garous

In fact it is a funny movie that you don't have to take everything seriously. It is just an adventure fantasy thriller for family that brings you back in the middle age. The sceneries therefore were done really great. All the actors contributed a top performance to create this story believable to the audience.

Watch it on a Saturday or Sunday evening when you don't have anything else to do and you will see how you will relax and have a good time. If you like this genre of film so check out Le Pacte des Loups with Vincent Cassell and Monica Bellucci.

For all these reasons my wife and me rate it 6/10.

It was supposed to be an awesome movie. The premise is great. It's very catchy from the start, it really holds you into the story, and you begin to identify with all the characters.

However, around 40 minutes inside the movie, the first MESSAGE is thrown into you.

Since the movie is great, then you just ignore it (as always) and just keep going. However, you already start thinking "why did they have to do this". But ok, keep going.

Then, around 10 minutes later another MESSAGE is thrown in, without any need at all.

At this point you kind of already know that unfortunately will be the rest of the movie like.

I kept watching for another 5 min, until the third MESSAGE was thrown in. That's when I just stopped the movie. It was enough.

Another great idea killed by THE MESSAGE.

Graded as 3, because the original premise was great.

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.

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.

Family Pack is a film that falls short on multiple fronts, making it a rather disappointing experience. The plot, which centers around a dysfunctional family trying to navigate their differences, is cliché and lacks originality. The script is riddled with predictable moments and uninspired dialogue, failing to deliver any meaningful or memorable lines.

The acting, unfortunately, does little to salvage the film. The performances feel forced and lack the emotional depth needed to make the characters relatable or engaging. Even seasoned actors seem to struggle with the poorly written material, resulting in a series of lackluster portrayals that fail to resonate with the audience. Not the worst movie I've seen, but definitely not in depth of what expected like I tell most people give it a watch and be the one to judge for yourself cause you may never know you might enjoy it more than others.
