I enjoyed this movie. A clever take on a crime family under federal protection which is based on the book Badfellas by Tonio Benacquista. Robert De Niro and MIchelle Pfeiffer were perfect choices for the parts of the parents. There is…

Critics didn’t like this movie because its parts don’t always fit together smoothly. Light comedy can be interrupted by harsh violence, for example. However, my feeling is that all the parts are good even if the transitions can be abrupt,…

Rated 4/10. Attempting to mix comedy along with serious gangster action, doesn't work well, in my opinion. Hence, the lower rating.
I think this movie would have much better if it had been a straight-forward comedy. There's some good…

seeing below 'trannyclone's' remark I am moved to comment, why unleash that potent opinion (and so on the mark) on this film?....why, of all targets available to you, do you choose this one? I enjoyed all the acting of the family, I liked…

Based on the trailer I expected this to be a comedy, however, while it did have some comedic moments it definitely wasn't a comedy in the traditional sense. Overall the movie was okay, but not one I would recommend to anyone. I expected a…

Funny, violent, slightly ridiculous and good entertainment. Robert De Niro's acting is wonderful. The rest of the family follows in the father's footsteps.

“The Family” is predictable and ultimately, not very interesting. Perhaps it needed to include more of the family’s background, their lives prior to entering the witness protection program. Also, there’s no clear protagonist; each member…

Comfortable mob based family comedy. DeNiro is great as usual and their is a real funny reference to his earlier movie work that I think you might like.

If we have a family at all based on love or lust,this is an example of how our elite slave masters would brainwash them to be.That's the real purpose of why they allowed this film to be made and released,BUT YOU DON'T HEAR ME…

De Niro was born to play mobsters, and puts in a great performance. Pfieffer does a good turn too.

Fairly decent comedy, although nothing besides. Lots of things go boom.

Sorry to the viewers who didn't enjoy this movie, but I did! This wasn't in my opinion a hard drama mafia movie, but a dark comedy. I got what I expected from this dark COMEDY movie. So, if you expect a lot of mafia activity, (in my…

Was an ok movie. Had some fun bits but overall wasn't great. Most of the cast was entirely unlikeable and I found myself having an incredibly hard time sympathizing with any of the family, especially the daughter, and thus had a hard time…

I expected way more out of this based on who was starring in it, unfortunately it just wasn't that good. The only part that was funny was the Goodfellas reference.

A clever action farce about a mob family landed in a small French town near Normandy. Soon, each member of the family began to commit their signature crimes to take care of [obstacles], all under watchful FBI agents until a vindictive…
