Miami Herald -
The Family is the rare breed of pitch-black comedy that effectively uses violence for laughs or gasps, depending on the situation.

Village Voice -
You can be chuckling one minute then cowering and cringing the next, which tinges the humor with apprehension and taints the brutality with absurdity. That isn't to say that the combo doesn't work at all.

The New York Times -
The movie has holes galore. It has abrupt tonal shifts, an incoherent back story and abandoned subplots. It doesn’t even try for basic credibility. But buoyed by hot performances, it sustains a zapping electrical energy.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service -
Besson aims his movie at anyone who’s ever held a grudge at an ill-mannered French waiter or clerk (haughty, and by the way, they’d NEVER condescend to speak to you in English). If that includes you, The Family has serves up a little wish-fulfillment payback, with a baseball bat.

USA Today -
The Family is a fish-out-of-water/buddy comedy/Mob flick. But most of all, it's a missed opportunity.
