The Thing About My Folks Reviews

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 18, 2012

Reiser has given us a film that makes us laugh while contemplating the ways we understand and misunderstand those we love.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 2, 2006

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 12, 2006

Moderately appealing.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 1, 2006

The film is a little saccharine and never as moving as Reiser expected. I know Reiser loves his father, but I didn't need to pay to be told it.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 13, 2006

The Thing About My Folks contains more sap than a Vermont maple.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 31, 2005

...provides [Falk] with an opportunity for his best work in a a Hollywood film since the hilarious and underrated Big Trouble (1986).

Full Review | Dec 15, 2005

The truth about this sweet, rather shambling little movie is somewhere between the gush and the criticism.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 23, 2005

Before I saw this film, only one movie, Field of Dreams, had ever made me cry. Now there are two.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 20, 2005

A lot of the humor is forced and unfunny.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 8, 2005

If Reiser's smart, he'll hire Falk for a new Columbo episode, 'The Case of the Roadkill Movie.'

| Oct 7, 2005

[Falk turns] a stereotyped curmudgeon into a warm and winning character and the only reason to watch.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 7, 2005

Formulaic to the max, it's never as funny nor as insightful as it wants to be.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Oct 5, 2005

Back when this flick was called "Big Fish," it was a great movie.

Full Review | Oct 4, 2005

Reiser, a famous face from the long-running 온라인카지노추천 series Mad About You, here proves himself to be a skilful writer and actor for the big screen.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 30, 2005

A straight-up case of really bad filmmaking, all mangled punchlines and sitcom setups and all of it too long in the telling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 30, 2005

Two men of very different generations coming to understand and appreciate each other makes for some fine moments. And that's just the actors.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 30, 2005

Director Raymond De Felitta's clinical visual treatment renders the tone too cold.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 30, 2005

A 'Mad About Gramps' episode that requires Falk to line-dance to Travis Tritt and otherwise demonstrate that old people sure are funny and cute and flatulent.

Full Review | Original Score: '1/4' | Sep 30, 2005
