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.

Donald Clarke Irish Times It was brave of the producers to hire a co-writer called Catharina Junk. Rated: 1/5 Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Derivative, barrel-scraping "family animation" at its worst. Rated: 1/5 Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian The whole thing is exhausting, with too much slapstick, too few decent laughs and a care-y share-y message of family togetherness. Rated: 2/5 Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Messy, confusing animated monster tale has violence. Rated: 1/5 Jul 10, 2018 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) With editing, pacing and screenplay all misfiring, it gets odder and less enjoyable. Rated: 2/5 Mar 5, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

I'm B 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review KerryWhite's S 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Mu S Umas das piores animações que já assisti, sem graça, enredo horrível e tedioso e nenhum personagem chega a ser bom. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Natalia Q 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The worst 01 hour: and 33 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
