Loups-Garous

Family Pack attempts a modern, quirky spin on a medieval adventure, but sadly, it misses the mark on nearly every front. The acting is shockingly poor, with the cast delivering lines so awkwardly and out of place that you wonder if they're trying to parody themselves. Their attempts at humor fall flat, making several scenes almost painful to watch as they fumble through punchlines with zero finesse.

The plot feels like a weak knock-off of Jumanji, though without any of the charm or coherence. Scenes unfold with no clear direction, bouncing aimlessly from one setup to the next. Even more puzzling is the random appearance of Leonardo da Vinci, who seems to be there purely to tick a box rather than to add anything meaningful to the story.

Adding to the confusion are clumsy, heavy-handed attempts to push social messages about race and gender roles in the Middle Ages. These themes feel forced, overly simplistic, and ultimately ineffective, dragging the movie down even further. All in all, Family Pack is a chaotic mix of bad writing, poor acting, and misguided social commentary, and unfortunately, it's not even entertaining in a "so bad it's good" way.

This works. Or atleast the classical concept that we seen before, as in "Jumanji". But this time with a "horror" twist to it and it does not makes it any better.

Not often i watch French films, so I didnt know what to expect at all. I was intrigued by this since the first teaser trailer and i saw Jean Reno was in it, one of my favourite actors and that this really fits for the October days.

This feels really bad at some moments, abit silly sometimes, but it also manages to be abit more entertaining in periods. It's definitely a family movie that works on a friday evening, but not more then that. We have seen this concept before and the manuscript is really bad, nothing new or unique at all.

Jean Reno does a good performance, but the other actors are abit worse.

You can definitely watch this with your family on a weekend, but dont really expect too much from it.

It's a well-intentioned family comedy in which the characters are pulled into the tabletop Werewolf game a la Jumanji. The tone is affable and the cast is good but the overall production is uneven. The humor lands about half the time, and when it does it's funny; but other attempts come across as cringe and forced. The premise of the Werewolf game - the players must identify and dispatch those who are secretly werewolves, while the werewolves try to divert blame to the innocent through deception and recrimination - is treated more or less as an afterthought. Potential suspects aren't investigated or built up so there are no real stakes or conflicts in trying to uncover the culprit(s) and the conclusory reveal is meh.

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.

Thats what it felt like, atleast to an extent but it has to be said the mentioned film is much better than this. Though from what ive seen its only the second time a concept like this has been done so its still a fresh idea and now netflix have helmed this new french movie, with jean reno whos a pleasure to see but I don't understand why he was dubbed. A family sit down to play a game for family game night and as is tradition they play the game called wolf I think. Everyone ends up not playing it but the father while putting the pieces away awakens something and before they know it they are swept off into the game and stuck in the middle ages with a frightful king and the threat of wolfes each night. An overall good movie but not without it faults. Acting was alright and it did have parts that made me laugh.
