Review of The Family (2013) by Lori B — 06 Feb 2014
"The Family" 10 Scale Rating: 4.0 (Bad) ...
The Good: The first half is decent as the fish out of water cliche actually works. DeNiro, Jones, D'Leo, Agron, and Pfeiffer are all game as the film is actually amusing and interesting early on.
The Bad: Then the tone dramatically shifts to a very dark and action packed film. I don't mind genre switching when done right, but this was poorly done. It was so jarring that it takes away from the film and causes it to lose all of it's charm.
