Review of The Family (2013) by Rane H — 26 Jan 2014
Funny, Well Written, great sound effects and music.
This is a type movie that if someone rinse had done it, would have been stereotypically dumb, annoying, full of stupid "humor" (which I can't stand). I'm amazed it was pulled off so well. good acting (kids could have been a bit better, but they were still great, just slightly off from ideal).
Normally I would cringe at this type movie - it would be over done. This was just right. Very entertaining.
Wacky, off the wall without being wacky and off the wall in performance, to the point where it hits you head against a brick wall.
Can only compare this movie with the inverse of what sui many do wing.
More comedic movies should be produced in this way. and with restraint.
It uses a mix of filming style. a few places it does this kind of parody tongue in cheek, style over dramatized to good effect (end of film). yet did so sparingly, and not every ascent in the sequence uses it. so while very unlikely, it doesn't break your suspension of disbelief.
They got humor in this movie. good humor, not stupid, I can't bear to watch it humor.
Yea.
