A humorless, Debbie Downer of a dysfunctional family drama, all the more disappointing given its promising pedigree.

Mainstream comedy fixture Jason Bateman proves his directing chops presiding over the distinctly non-mainstream, darkly comic story about a dysfunctional family borne from performance artists.

Bateman knows his fractured family well, but "Fang" doesn't give him enough to chew on. The characters are all scarred, but the film doesn't leave a mark.

Laced with subtle performances and rich characters, Jason Bateman's The Family Fang is a big improvement over his last movie, the overly cynical-but-cute Bad Words.

Fang is directed by Bateman with a sensitivity that the story's sour whimsy doesn't quite deserve.

"The Family Fang" is kind of messy but also fun and touching; it's a definite step forward for Bateman as a director ...

Even when The Family Fang stretches credulity, we stay with it. Bateman knows how to tell a story.

It's heavy stuff, served with a light touch.

The Family Fang is an enjoyable film to watch with genuine characters who have relatable flaws and believable bonds.

Bateman and Nicole Kidman, too old to convincingly pull off this sibling pair, would have fared better as the parents.

No masterpiece, certainly, but substantially more interesting than comparable productions such as Captain Fantastic.
