"Although the movie loses power in its final sections, the performances, writing and Richard Pearce's direction transform this shaky idea into something rewarding." | ||
|
|
|
"In 'A Family Thing', an earnest upbeat fable about the meaning of brotherhood in America" | ||
|
|
|
"The situations are more or less standard (fights over sleeping arrangements, emergencies that have to be solved, moments of truth and confession), but the dialogue and the acting bring the material up to another level." | ||
|
|
|
"Despite its good intentions, 'A Family Thing' could easily have been a mediocre drama, but the excellent performances elevate the film considerably." | ||
|
|
|
"It's impossible to dismiss the attraction of such accomplished actors on the big screen, even with a fits-and-starts script." | ||
|
|
|
"It's likely to be overrated by some and underrated by others, and both contingents will be wrong. One can't, however, overrate the performances, with auntie ruling the roost in more ways than one." | ||
|
|
|
"Working from an acute script by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson, he's able to dramatize the story's essence without forcing the issue." |
