Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Tim AppeloFamily Business is one of Lumet’s very worst movies, but the actors are stellar.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Scott WeinbergJust barely worth checking out, and even then, it's only for the actors.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe three lead characters end the film as isolated as they began it. As with the plot, there isn't quite enough in the throwaway humour to hold them together.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertFamily Business tries to play it down the middle, when it probably should have jumped in one direction or the other, toward a pure caper or toward a family drama.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe pleasure is watching Connery shine as a roguish criminal in a story line that never gels.
Tampa Bay Times - 6/10 by Clark PerryHoff-man and Broderick manage an affecting reconciliation, and Connery remains a peerless charmer. Still, there’s no telling what drew these three to such trite material. It’s like hiring the Rolling Stones and forcing them to sing Barry Manilow.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 5/10 by Joe PollackSlapdash Sidney Lumet directs this misbegotten three-star vehicle, an overpowered tricycle of a tale with Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick unconvincing as successive generations of the genetically eclectic McMullen clan.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Vincent CanbyThe three stars are good actors, but they have nothing much to work with. Their biggest challenge is to make the audience believe they are blood relatives, a question that would be quickly dismissed if the script were more compelling.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Dave KehrA frail little caper movie that’s overawed by its cast.
Fantastica Daily - 4/10 by Chuck O'LearyA terrific seriocomic crime caper that nobody knew how to sell. Often feels like a 1970s movie that somehow ended up in 1989.
