La mia strana famiglia

Some people are saying the opening scene was amazing, but I see it differently. While others see incredible action, I see utter confusion. I had no idea who any of these characters were, and I was suddenly introduced to six characters with insane abilities that were never explained in any way-they were just kind of thrown at the audience. Then, after this confusing opening action scene, the movie jumps 15 years, and suddenly, they have a family. It's freaky.

The story didn't really make sense, with plenty of plot holes, including a literal hole where characters would fall in and never be seen again. The king, who was supposed to be the villain, didn't have a single good reason to be evil, only to completely flip at the first sign of trouble at the end of the movie. There was also a lot of grooming in this film, as the main villain essentially grooms the protagonist.

The freakiest part of the movie was the worm-bus guy, who literally says to a trio of 14-year-olds, "You guys like tongue?" Like, what does that even mean? I don't care if I quoted that out of context; the writers knew exactly what they were doing with that line.

Some characters were introduced only to appear in one scene and then never be seen again, even when it seemed like they would play a major role. Oh, and the brother? He kind of looks like Michael Jackson after all his surgeries.

This movie. Is the worst piece of cinema I've ever watched. False advertising it's horrible I can't do this anymore. I'd rather put my balls through a grinder than watch whatever you call this. This is a horrible. I sound like a broken record right now. But it's true that's just how foul this movie is it's the worst movie since madame web put me out of my misery I swear this movie being made is a heinous crime to humanity. Whoever made this needs to be punished and jailed in San Quienten or whatever that one cool prison is called. So in summery this movie is not worth the mental anguish that it will give you.

My Freaky Family is a gloriously bizarre masterpiece that fully embraces the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully freaky. From its eccentric characters to its mind-bending twists, every moment of the film oozes with an offbeat charm that keeps you glued to the screen. The family itself is a spectacle-each member boasting their own uncanny quirks, eerie abilities, or downright unexplainable habits, yet somehow, they function in perfect, chaotic harmony. The visuals are a feast for the eyes, blending eerie, otherworldly aesthetics with bursts of vibrant, unsettling beauty. The humor is dark yet sharp, the plot twists are as unexpected as they are delightfully strange, and the overall atmosphere is like stepping into a dream where the rules of normalcy have been thrown out the window. My Freaky Family doesn't just celebrate the weird-it thrives in it, delivering an experience that is equal parts heartwarming and deliciously deranged.

The animation is low quality, but the target audience, my kids, didn't care. They were engaged and laughing and having tons of fun, only losing their attention a couple of times.

But. And a huge but. The producers of this movie thought it a good idea to make their villain, a black spider like monster, a bad Trump caricature, complete with his style and manner of speech, and butchered catch phrases.

They should really try making great movies again, instead of playing stupid and puerile political games with our kids.

Given a different voice, the antagonist would have been epic, instead of a turn off for a majority of the audience. (people who have kids)

I have to say, this movie opens with a banger of an entrance, a fast chase scene across the snowy mountains. Pity the rest of the film doesn't match this rhythm, being a boring "teenager has to value their undead/magical/caucasian family while trying to be normal".

I'll have to say though, the main villain has a memorable character design, in a sea of otherwise typical CGI faces. The animation is decent, with good backgrounds and motion, it's just a shame its standard CGI instead of something more stylized.

Overall, a recommendation if you're interested in a rather bland kind of family movie.
