What to Know

Critics Consensus

Monster Family promises a family-friendly animated monster mash, but succeeds only in delivering a viewing experience so lackluster that parents may find it genuinely frightening.

It was brave of the producers to hire a co-writer called Catharina Junk. Go to Full Review

Derivative, barrel-scraping "family animation" at its worst. Go to Full Review

2/5
The whole thing is exhausting, with too much slapstick, too few decent laughs and a care-y share-y message of family togetherness. Go to Full Review

Messy, confusing animated monster tale has violence. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Narrative logic leaps scupper story coherence, while the Tom Jones-loving Drac... seems like he's in a different movie to all the other characters. Go to Full Review
Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) 03/05/2018
2/5
With editing, pacing and screenplay all misfiring, it gets odder and less enjoyable. Go to Full Review

I'm B 10/12/2024 By 10 minutes in I was seeing Rifftrax potential. By 20 minutes in I was intrigued by this clearly British family that was super excited to go to London...on a plane... from NYC. By 30 minutes in I was over the fart jokes and weirded out by the "Dracula stalks and kidnaps woman, then gives her a magic pill" storyline in a children's movie (and I was already a bit weirded out by the rest, trust me). I did not make it to 40 minutes in, though it felt like an eternity. My son thankfully lost interest by the 5th fart joke. The secondhand vampire teeth and the attempt to kiss in astronaut helmets were funny, so it gets 1 star. Not funny enough to give it any more of my time though. See more KerryWhite's S @KerryWhite77 10/26/2023 4/10. 45/100. | Was it just me, or is half this movie supposed to be originally in a different language from English? Half the time it seemed dubbed. See more Natalia Q 06/29/2023 As somebody who is of the target audience, not even I could enjoy this film. It's a production that wreaks of abhorrent voice acting, repulsive character design, and terrible storytelling. Additionally, its whole existence, in my opinion, is to be a mock buster of a fundamentally better movie; Hotel Transylvania. Please, if you plan to watch this horrid motion picture, heed my warning - Happy Family is an unsatisfactory mess. Do not watch it. See more ViraRiva 01/12/2023 some people are way too harsh on this film. its really not that bad. definitely not perfect, but not bad enough for 1 star. i think this is a fun family film all ages can enjoy. there are things obviously just for kids like fart jokes and some scenes do slow down such as when the mom chases after the witch in the beginning i think that dragged on way too long. however overall its a cute little story and the graphics are actually pretty good for not being a big name company. would i recommend this or rewatch it? probably not unless theres nothing else to watch but i think once is good enough See more 03/16/2022 meu Deus, que filme horrivel e chato. See more 10/29/2020 this is the worst animation i have ever seen, she is not visually beautiful, she is all pissed off, very boring and wasted characters, boring script that hurts, seriously this movie is rubbish.
