Leave your thoughts about Eddie Griffin: DysFunktional Family.

| Las Vegas WeeklyJosh BellGriffin's paean to beating your children is more than a little disturbing. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayEven when some of his material has a "been there, heard that" sense to it, Griffin's outbursts of charisma help elevate the overall presentation. |

| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarProvides the rare opportunity to sample a comic's material and hang out with the folks who inadvertently shaped it. |
| Chicago TribuneLoren KingGriffin may well get there, but he's not there yet. |
