Critics Consensus:The Family

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Robert De Niro comedy. Hopefully it can't be as bad as the Big Wedding.

Robert De Niro used to create many many serious good movies about gangsters,mobs and etc. Now that The Family was announced a couple of months ago the movie looked serious and cool. And then they added the comedy aspect to it. And we all know how bad The Big Wedding went. 
The Family is not another Big Wedding even those movies sound very similar. It's a bad movie by a lot of means such as relying on the same joke countless times,boring and uninventive and just plain unnecessary. There is not really a demographic for this movie and at the end it just does not pan out well. (Cited:New York Daily News,The Playlist,Time Out New York)
Overall watch Goodfellas again.
The Family is rated R.
