Family Pack

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's a well-intentioned family comedy in which the characters are pulled into the tabletop Werewolf game a la Jumanji. The tone is affable and the cast is good but the overall production is uneven. The humor lands about half the time, and when it does it's funny; but other attempts come across as cringe and forced. The premise of the Werewolf game - the players must identify and dispatch those who are secretly werewolves, while the werewolves try to divert blame to the innocent through deception and recrimination - is treated more or less as an afterthought. Potential suspects aren't investigated or built up so there are no real stakes or conflicts in trying to uncover the culprit(s) and the conclusory reveal is meh.

Not the best acting, and the special effects budget was obviously low, and yet this was a fun watch throughout. Definitely better than I expected, although I turned on subtitles to augment the dubbed soundtrack.

Lots of slapstick and pantomime type humour so plenty to amuse younger viewers. If you can ignore timetravel plot holes then this is a fun family film that is enjoyable enough.

I watched again in French with English subtitles and its definitely more exciting with the original voices. Some characters weren't fully developed which is a shame. It was nice to see the younger characters forming a relationship with their grandfather, freed from his dementia, and able to play a vital role in the drama.

Thats what it felt like, atleast to an extent but it has to be said the mentioned film is much better than this. Though from what ive seen its only the second time a concept like this has been done so its still a fresh idea and now netflix have helmed this new french movie, with jean reno whos a pleasure to see but I don't understand why he was dubbed. A family sit down to play a game for family game night and as is tradition they play the game called wolf I think. Everyone ends up not playing it but the father while putting the pieces away awakens something and before they know it they are swept off into the game and stuck in the middle ages with a frightful king and the threat of wolfes each night. An overall good movie but not without it faults. Acting was alright and it did have parts that made me laugh.

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.
