"The Thing About my Folks" came in as a surprise. We had no idea about what to expect. The film directed by Raymond DeFelitta, and based on a screen play by one of its stars, Peter Falk, proved to be a pleasant time at the movies. Although the film is predictable and we know what will be the outcome, this is a voyage of discovery where Ben gets to know his father, perhaps for the first time in his life, Ben sees his father for what he really is, and not the mythical figure he has in his mind.

simple story but nice values inside .. though not quite mixed well .. still entertaining enough as a family movie .. especially on the relation between u n ur parent

Good and delicate comedy about how family things can be viewed and understood quite oddly, depending on the mood and feelings (and sex, sometimes). I liked especially Peter Falk and his mate actress, Olympia Dukakis. Younger actors, though good, loose the match against them.

MCT:January 25, 2008What a great old fashioned movie. It's pretty standard stuff, however somebody smarter than me said it sometime or other, but, 'it's not always about the story but in the telling of it'. This was told perfectly and with much human insight. Totally enjoyed the father/son banter between Peter Falk and Paul Resier. It made me laugh out loud, made me cry real tears and made me think, but not too hard. Just what I needed! Beautiful little movie and I want the car that Peter Falk bought in this. sweet

MCT:December 27, 2007A very delightful movie that is for a father and his child about remembering what you have, and what you might have missed out in life. Peter Falk is always about timing, and he is always perfect at it with his lines. Pual Reiser, who is widely known for his TV show Mad About You, does not seem to have changed his acting style, and for this movie it was a very good thng.
For a father and his adult child, A MUST SEE MOVIE! -

The scene where the father is ogling the young woman in the cut off jeans is cute. Overall, I found this movie to be a bit on the dull side.

MCT:July 5, 2007A nice little movie to watch on a lazy weekend. Some great laugh out loud moments - especially the slapping of the fish. A little movie to make you thik about your own family.

Funny and enjoyable. Valuable lessons in this film about families and their disfunctions. Family matters are hardly ever this neat and agreeable. Gives us something to shoot for.

Paul Reiser and Peter Falk together are hillarious. -

Wow, what a great surprise. Peter Falk is another much under-appreciated actor. And thank you Olympia Dukakis for reaffirming my faith in your ability. How ironic to see this just after seeing her in that horrific Picture Perfect -- another indication of how bad the direction was in that movie.
This one is well worth the time, flixsters, for family, for love, for the time-honored tradition of growing old. Peter Falk is a genius. -

MCT:April 6, 2006It was an okay movie. I never expected Paul Reiser to make another movie ever again. Cute story just not catchy enough.

A wonderfuly storie about life and beging alive. Not a 'light' film but well told with real hummor and strieght shooting honesty. Get ready to shed a tear on this comedy.

I liked it. Peter Falk and Paul Reiser complemented each other's style. It's been done before but there are a few good chuckles here. Families remember events differently and this tells a great story of just that.

One of the best movies I have seen in a while. Really relates to those of us with aging parents. Laughs & kleenex.

Has nothing new in terms of narrative but I am sure glad I saw it because of Peter Falk, what an enchanting and endearing man
