Messy, confusing animated monster tale has violence.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 10, 2018

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 13, 2018

With editing, pacing and screenplay all misfiring, it gets odder and less enjoyable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 5, 2018

There is an excellent chance that nobody will like this film, which tells, terribly, of a family turned into classic monsters -- not the children it is aimed at, nor the parents who sit through it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 5, 2018

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 2, 2018

Frankly, this lacklustre computer animated effort is about as original as a second-hand Halloween costume and a lot less fun.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2018

This irritating hodgepodge is completely devoid of charm.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 2, 2018

The fine cast is not matched by the material they're given. Tonally the film is erratic and the kid-friendly sideshow of fart gags and over the top slapstick will lose parents early on.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2018

Derivative, barrel-scraping "family animation" at its worst.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 2, 2018

Good enough for plonking the kids in front of the telly while you do the ironing, but not much more.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2018

The whole thing is exhausting, with too much slapstick, too few decent laughs and a care-y share-y message of family togetherness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2018

... a clunky, ungainly and misconceived affair, neither witty nor visually imaginative enough even to begin to compare with the best Hollywood animation.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 28, 2018

With not a bone of originality on display, the plot is a sleep-inducing tangle of 'please make it stop now' incoherence, while the poor dubbing doesn't help matters.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 28, 2018

Good-looking but erratically plotted and unfunny, director Holger Tappe's adaptation of David Safier's book Happy Family lands with a thud more deadening than the footsteps of Frankenstein's Monster.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 27, 2018

...tries to distract from its mediocrity with production value. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Feb 26, 2018

An anything-goes hodgepodge in need of a smarter, tighter narrative and more deftly conceived and rendered characters.

| Feb 8, 2018

A somewhat forced eschatological humor and a striking dark tinge. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Nov 14, 2017

Not even the powerful cast can prevent the simplicity of the plot. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 14, 2017

A technically clean animation film, full of high plasticity, colour and detail in each of the scenarios presented. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2017

This British-German production is a stew of numerous conventions... and as many clichs.... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 10, 2017
