Enjoyable, thought-provoking

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie about the importance of family, even when one finds it in the most unlikely of places. Both James Earl Jones & Robert Duvall are excellent, as usual, but Irma P. Hall nearly steals every scene she appears in. Well worth watching. February 25, 2008

One of the best movies Ive seen in a very long time

I havent watched movies in years because they are too violent and/or sexually inappropriate.. but I loved this movie. Its got meat in it and its believeable. Robert and James shine in this movie and after watching it, I couldnt help but wonder if this had actually ever happened to anyone.. (I'm sure it has). In either case, your going to love this movie... There is one nude scene but you dont see anything important. Frankly I think they could of done without that scene but in either case, its not too bad. August 1, 2007

The Power of Family overcomes!

I just finished watching "A Family Thing", being a 6 ft 4 inch, 210 lb Black man, I am glad there was no one at my house because I cried like a baby during the film. The film was extremely touching to me in so many
ways being the Grandfather of 4 biracial Grandchildren. This film is so
real, and my only regret is that I had not viewed it before today!
Family is everything to me! July 30, 2007

A Family Thing

We are very pleased with this DVD. The quality is excellent and we are happy to add it to our collection. January 18, 2007

A Great Movie

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. I thought it was great and when I had the opportunity to add it to my home collection, I did. I had a Girl's Nite In (dinner and a movie) and the four of us thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I would recommend this for middle school and high school students as a lesson in tolerance and family issues. Two great actors. I wish they would make a sequel to show how Earl's side of the family reacts to the situation. It would complete the circle. January 12, 2007
