Hello Readers,
I watched Family Pack on Netflix in that awkward time
between Christmas and New Year and I really enjoyed it. Please note, the poster

I really enjoyed Family Pack. I initially put it on as
background noise while reading, but soon found myself putting my book down to
focus on the film instead. It's a sweet, light-hearted time traveling comedy
based on the card game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow. The film does a
fantastic job of not turning into a giant commercial for the game, which I
really appreciated.
After watching the film I looked to see how it did review
wise and it’s a mixed bag. Personally, I think it’s just a fun family film that
doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s not groundbreaking, but I had a great
time with it, enjoying the silly, light-hearted route it takes without being
overly slapstick.
The plot follows an ordinary family that gets transported
into the world of a card game. They find themselves trapped in a medieval
village, dealing with time-travel dilemmas and nightly werewolf attacks. At
first, the famil think they are at a renaissance fair, but the family soon
realises they’re stuck in the game itself when they witness the very real execution
of a supposed sorcerer. To escape and return to the future, they must identify
and eliminate the werewolves plaguing the town.
The cast features Franck Dubosc as Jérôme Vassier, Jean
Reno as Gilbert Vassier, Suzanne Clément as Marie Vassier, and Grégory Fitoussi
as the Captain. Jean Reno's portrayal of Gilbert Vassier standing out for its humour
and depth. Gilbert has dementia but finds that that his mind has been restored while
in the medieval era. Its great added detail in this film.
Family Pack offers a delightful escape into a quirky
adventure. It’s not a film that will leave you pondering the meaning of life,
but it’s an enjoyable and light-hearted watch for anyone looking to unwind.
With its charming cast, fun premise, and just the right amount of humour, it's
the perfect opportunity to enjoy something that doesn’t take itself too
seriously.
