Watch The Family For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

A Masterpiece!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Greetings from Lithuania."The Family" (2013) is a fun, involving and just a very entertaining action / comedy / crime film. It kinda does not take it self to seriously, and it works. I liked performances in here, especially by Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer. Pacing of this movie was very good - at running time 1 h 45 min this movie never dragged. There are some references to famous "gangster" movies along the way.Overall, "The Family" is a fun and entertaining movie package. You don't need to take it to seriously as its comedy on its core, and while its not the most original, it as a good movie.

...first the movie is very well done (unlike many commentators that seem that do not know about Cinema technical aspects commenting how bad is Besson as director...), the original music and the selected tunes are perfect, all the actors are pretty good here included the cartoonish roles, the color palette is well choose, even the final titles are cool. Second, do not expect more than a meantime movie but good crafted and remembering that still this is cinema may be not the best but is not a TV movie.The plot is simple but full of cliché of the mafia genre; this could be good or bad depending on your side. There s a big mistake in the plot regarding a barbecue/party, but seemed the only way to make the "connection" between couple of characters; anyway, the "first" section of the movie is somewhat too "Hollywood" regarding High school stereotypes and the pace is not good enough; may be cut a few minutes there could be better; however in the "final" part, the things start to speed up a bit and the motion is right there. Plus D Agron is really a beauty (a talented one)

Why is it that every time I stumble on a violence-filled mediocrity and check on IMDb the director is Luc Besson. Everything he does is glossy, violent, profane and empty. How does he get A-listers - even these over-the-hill A-listers - to star in his movies. It's not like this mess is redeemed by comedy. It's about as witty as being buried in an Iowa cornfield. It's almost hard to believe how highly regarded Robert DeNiro once was. At this point he's been a hack longer than he was ever good.

I vaguely remember when this movie was in the cinemas. I didn't go see it and I didn't even see a trailer, but I remember seeing the poster on the wall at the theater. Once it was up on Netflix, I wanted to see it.I was expecting some kind of weird mixture between crime drama and a "unusual family" comedy like the Addams Family and We're The Millers. Not the best examples but they are the first ones I can think of. The Family wasn't exactly close to my expectation. The Family is way more refreshing the way it is. Still, it's hard to say what is the main type of this film. It's partially a comedy, it's hilarious and clever and all that. But then again it seems like a deep drama, because it's about a family who is trying to adjust to the new situation, and everyone is facing their own challenges. But of course it's also a crime thriller.While it's hard to say which one of these mostly defines the movie, the thing is, the elements of all those types are used so wonderfully, that as the story goes on, it doesn't matter. The story and the characters are intriguing and it's exciting to see what is going to happen. That shows what an excellent writer Tonino Benacquista is. While I don't know the differences between his book and the screenplay by Besson and Caleo, but I'm guessing his Benacquista's writing involved a lot of the stuff I loved about this movie.The Family is intriguing, thrilling and fun. It has excellent casting and excellent writing. While this movie doesn't really stand out, it's not astounding in anyway, it's still a good film and definitely worth seeing.
