Lobisomens

Family Pack is a film most delightful, balancing simplicity with a spirited charm that warms the heart. It may not dazzle with a plot of intricate depth nor boast grand cinematic achievements, yet therein lies its unique allure. The film embraces its modest presentation, favouring practical effects that bring to life its whimsical elements, in a manner reminiscent of days when visual splendour required genuine artistry rather than reliance upon modern devices. Such choices impart a nostalgic comfort, reminiscent of family gatherings round the hearth.

While the picture may not be regarded as a pinnacle of the cinematic arts, its light-hearted humour and warmth make it a jovial companion for an evening of familial bonding. It is a gentle adventure, unsullied by grand pretensions, and aimed squarely at delivering mirth and pleasant company. A modest triumph, indeed, for those who seek joy in simplicity and find solace in a narrative that refuses to overreach its genial intentions.

"Loups-Garous" is an enjoyable watch that doesn't demand much mental investment. It's the kind of movie where you can sit back, relax, and let yourself be entertained without overthinking the plot. The light-hearted tone, paired with witty dialogue, makes it an accessible and fun experience for casual viewers. You can also tell that the cast is having a great time bringing their characters to life, which adds an extra layer of charm to the film.

That said, the movie does leave some opportunities unexplored. In particular, the theme of family relationships feels underdeveloped. While the story hints at deeper emotional connections, it never quite dives into them, which might leave viewers craving more depth. Still, this doesn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment-it's clear that this isn't trying to be a heavy or overly complex movie.

In the end, *"Loups-Garous"* is a solid popcorn flick that delivers exactly what it promises: entertainment. It might not be groundbreaking, but it's definitely worth a watch for fans of light-hearted sci-fi or action.

It was supposed to be an awesome movie. The premise is great. It's very catchy from the start, it really holds you into the story, and you begin to identify with all the characters.

However, around 40 minutes inside the movie, the first MESSAGE is thrown into you.

Since the movie is great, then you just ignore it (as always) and just keep going. However, you already start thinking "why did they have to do this". But ok, keep going.

Then, around 10 minutes later another MESSAGE is thrown in, without any need at all.

At this point you kind of already know that unfortunately will be the rest of the movie like.

I kept watching for another 5 min, until the third MESSAGE was thrown in. That's when I just stopped the movie. It was enough.

Another great idea killed by THE MESSAGE.

Graded as 3, because the original premise was great.

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.

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.
