De Niro's deadpan humour suits a garden burial perfectly, but we just don't see enough of how we really want him to be.

A black comedy that doesn't begin to jell but has a sweetheart of a cast and the odd diverting moment.
September 13, 2013
This is a deliberately off-kilter, cheerfully violent, hit-and-miss effort with just enough moments of inspiration to warrant a recommendation.

Full of tone deaf humor and gratuitous violence, The Family marks a miscalculated step for an otherwise fine filmmaker.
September 13, 2013
A movie with a PG brain and a NC-17 body count, unsuitable for audiences of any age.

As cinema, it's an interesting experiment. As a movie, it's a bloody mess.

The casting of Robert De Niro as an ex-Mafioso hiding in witness protection is witty in only the silliest, most superficial way. It's a joke with its own tinny, built-in laugh track.

For anyone willing to brave some tonal inconsistencies, its rewards are real.

An all-star cast fails to rise above bloody japes and heavy-handed humor in this tale of a renegade Mob family hiding in a small French town.

The movie is a curious mess, but the cast is having a grand old time.

Those excited for the return of Besson to the action-comedy game likely will come away disappointed from this jumbled, visually bland effort.

The Family is a pretty uneven film, lurching from comedy to violence to sentiment, but it's best when it sticks in the realm of flat-out farce.
