Movie Reviews

USA Today - 6/10 by Mike ClarkKrippendorf's Tribe, a surprisingly enjoyable piece of piffle, is pure Disney all the way, replete with a wholly preposterous plot, engaging performances and a feel-good, lesson-teaching ending.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers - 6/10 by Steve CrumPretty lame comedy stuff with Dreyfuss leading family misadventures. Sophomoric.
Kansas City Star - 3/10 by Shawn BowersLook at Richard Dreyfuss on the poster, weep for him, and then rent something else.
User Review - 10/10 by Matthew Msuch a bizarre film in many ways. Especially the lack of morals even with the ending. I guess I assumed he would have been caught and confess but the reality is he got away with his hoax. I am not sure what the film is trying to say but I mean it does try its best at what it is. It does have some ridiculous moments but I was surprised at it being a hollywood film that there was no real happy ending or at least an ending that would make you think you learned a valuable lesson.
User Review - 10/10 by Jay BKrippendorf's Tribe has achieved something special, an incredible balance of fun and smarts accessible to all. There's a bit of exaggeration that will hold the interest of those who want primal fun, but little enough as not to displease those who do not want to be submerged by unrealistic situations. The intelligent humor of the dialogs and scenario will easily enthused those who need smarts to appreciate a comedy, but not so much as to rebuff those who do not want to work their brains to laugh. The acting is without reproach, even if a few of the secondary characters are a bit caricatured. The photography, soundtrack, and editing are as perfect as they are invisible, yet remarkable. The story is without logical flaw. A must see, easily enjoyable by anyone.
User Review - 10/10 by Leisa RI haven't seen this in a while - so the storyline is kindof fady. I remember it is a funny movie - good for the family. It is about an imaginary tribe and the love a family shares.
User Review - 10/10 by Jo-Ann Hone of my top 10. I love this its funny and realistic. love the messy house.
User Review - 10/10 by Deanna KI just watched this on tv and laughed my ass off.
User Review - 10/10 by mike hclassic dreyfuss, elfmans not too shabby either, how can you not like a crazy kooky film like this, unless your dead inside and don't have a soul i can see why. hes a master, i wish he did a lot more films, hes a comic genius, love his movies, hes great to watch.
User Review - 10/10 by Justin EVery funny.... Richard Dreyfuss scores a winner
