The game itself is so good. I’m not sure the movie understands why.

The plot is predictably wholesome. But it’s also so cozy and earnest with a mature depth of emotion lurking beneath that it’s hard not to leave this werewolf adventure with a big grin and likely a few tears shed.

Rated: 3/5

Your tolerance for wacky antics will be tested by Family Pack, but always remember that we should be grateful some studio brainz haven’t yet greenlit Hi-Ho Cherry-O: The Movie.

Unabashedly [takes] a page out of Jumanji’s book, only missing most of that page — to say Uzan’s film is lighter than whipped cream doesn’t quite convey the absolute nothing going on here. To say Junamji seems Kubrickian by contrast gets you closer.

Don't expect too much from this frothy, French family film and you'll do just fine.

An endearing movie? Sure. However, the messaging is ruined by the generic and lazy direction.

Totally in the spirit of the original Jumanji with Robin Williams. Adventure, humor, and that’s all we ask for. Although there’s a bit of a casting issue (Jean Réno and Franck Dubosc are only 10 years apart, so it’s hard to buy them as father and son), the story is well paced. No big surprises, but that’s not what you’re looking for — you want entertainment, and this delivers. Each power has a real purpose, and the werewolf costumes are well done. Great choice to avoid CGI for them; it feels much more realistic that way. Lots of good laughs and a movie the whole family can enjoy — a winning formula.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Played in the background of a family game night and was surprisingly delighted. We didn't notice it was dubbed from French originally until we realized the lip syncing but almost all of us were spending more time watching the movie than paying attention to the game in between turns. Bit cheesy and predictable, but heart warming.

What a breath of fresh air. Not a cookie cutter formulaic pastiche. Witty and touching. Family oriented, with unexpected twists and turns.

If you‘re into predictable storylines, unfunny jokes and cringe voicelines, there‘s a chance you‘ll love this movie. I did not.

I enjoyed the film. I did research on Great Lakes myth when I became more than a little familiar with the loup garou. I even published a teen novel years ago that took inspiration from te myth (The publisher folded and so did my book). Anyway, I felt the story was fun, and I got to use my French.
