Family Weekend Ratings & Reviews
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
Watching "Family Weekend" you feel as trapped as the tied-up parents, wondering, when will it all end?
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
A couple twists short of a good comedy; this film seems like more of a TV prime time test spin for the cast and crew than a fully developed film.
Dallas Morning News
David Martindale
Don't let the innocuous title fool you. Family Weekend is a subversive little comedy in which a tightly wound misfit of a teenage girl, fed up with watching her family spiral out of control, subjects her parents to an extreme intervention.
Chicago Daily Herald
Dann Gire
Family Weekend is just as simpy as its plot sounds, but under Alabama-born director Epps, making his feature directing debut, this comedy skips along on good intentions with actors who put more into the characters than they deserve.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Anarchic, silly, witless, cartoonish and unsophisticated despite lively performances by the talented Olesya Rulin and Joey King.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Teen tries to repair dysfunctional family in so-so comedy.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
An appealing film about the rigors of parenting and misperception of what it takes to be a parent.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The unconventional dysfunctional family has now become a Hollywood convention. It is familiar to a fault.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
For a long while, director Benjamin Epps goes for breakneck farce; at its best, this is a batty mixture of family-values editorial and teen spoof.
Movie Habit
Robert Denerstein
Feels longer than just two days
New York Times
Andy Webster
The script, by Matt K. Turner, is loaded with contradictions, its hollow flirtation with subversion amount to airplane pablum.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
What keeps the film afloat is the buoyant young cast, with Rulin especially watchable as the tightly wound lead and Joey King as her younger sister, who's an aspiring actress.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There's no overcoming the poorly conceived premise of Benjamin Epps' debut comedy. But a strong start and solid cast take it further than one might expect.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The kind of dark-for-dark's sake, wannabe quirkfest that proves indie films can be just as clichd and vapid as the most soulless Hollywood movies.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
In need of a more judicious editor and a game plan to approach the steady erosion of marriage with a profound hit of honesty, not just a sitcom-style presentation of forced therapy.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
Who was "Family Weekend" made for? Beats the hell out of me.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Despite the occasional descent into clumsy farce, it largely succeeds in creating its own space and providing a pleasingly different teen perspective on life.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
The direction by Benjamin Epps, who has an early cameo as a jump-rope judge, shows decent comic timing, but needs to dial the histrionics way down and find a script that has some substance beneath the shenanigans.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Quirky indie hell, thy name is Family Weekend.
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Mark R. Leeper
What Emily wants is basically a return to "Leave it to Beaver" sort of values. That may be a hard sell in the 21st Century.
