Die Erbschaft

We started watching this and during the beginning of the film, we had reservations about continuing, or just watching something else. It was just cheap comedy and maybe the acting wasn't very good, though, not sure how much of the dubbing had a part of it. We pressed on and it did in fact get better! The movie was generally a generic film, but it did have a couple unique things to it, and with the whole premise as a whole, it had amazing potential to be a classic with sequels in the making. I think it just fell a little shirt with a deeper story, characters, lore, and production. All in all, it could be much better, and I'm sad it's not cause there's a great base layer there, but as far as something to watch, it provided some decent entertainment!

Silly, but not in a good way. Unlikeable characters; poor dubbing in which the English words don't always make sense. I know it's supposed to be played for laughs, but how stupid is it at the beginning when family members are racing each other to get to the house, and even though they're about 1/2 mile apart they're driving on the wrong side of the street and swerving from side-to-side with no other car in sight?

I guess it's a mystery but not very compelling. Family interaction, in which you can't decide which family member you hate the most; I watched it while reading a book. At least the book was good.

A rich inventor and ex game show host has died and the family are invited to his mansion to hear his will. However to get hold of all his patents, those present must play a series of elaborate games if they are to win anything.

In many ways like 'Clue' sans the subtlety. Each family member is eccentric, with issues and talks very fast often nonsensically and the whole thing, dotted as it is with some fun moments is far to frantic. The twists and turns, bar a neat little feller right at the end, fall rather flat and keeping track of the barmy mystery is itself quite an ordeal. One or two enjoyable bits, it's nice to look at with some fun sets, but overall it's performed as if it were a pantomime and overall is really too fraught to take in.

Well it is not always as easy as it may seem. So no pun intended - we are family ... as a song suggests. But not all families are alike ... and not all families do like ... each other. Especially when it comes down (boils down) to getting a lot of money ... one way or another.

Of course getting inheritance is something some people look forward to - openly ... and others just have it in the back of their mind. How to draw the real character and see who is deserving .. well you can say the movie (characters) have it in for them here. You hopefully will like the comedy and humor - with some interesting twists along the way too ... not super special (and overall for many I reckon predictable) ... but decent enough ... which again, can't be said about most characters I reckon.

I just finished watching this. It was fine. It wasn't good or bad.

It's a movie that you finish on Netflix and don't really want to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. It was just mediocre.

There were some cute moments, but it was never really funny.

There was a mystery kind of, but it was very badly done. There were no clues or set up so when you find out what happened in the end you just kind of shrug. Which was disappointing.

It was supposed to be a mystery comedy, and it's not funny and the mystery was lackluster, so all in all it wasn't a good movie.

The characters were likeable enough and the games were cute, but nothing was good enough to make you care about anything that happened.
