Definitely a lesser Hitchcock, but Dern. Black, Devane and Harris are each very funny.

A pretty good swan song for the master of suspense. Has some decent amount of tension and I kind of laughed at the car with no brakes. The cast was very good in this as well. Worth a gander if you are a fan of Hitchcock's.

More Movie of the Week than swan song for the master of suspense. Still a fun, brainless romp. SPOILER? Is this the only Hitch film where no one dies?

Hitch's swan-song is fine entertainment, but not up to his best work; fine performances from Harris and Devane liven convoluted mystery, which kicks into a higher gear in the second half. It is clear that Hitch knew the state of modern film at the time as the film feels convincingly 70s, despite being made by a man who perfected his technique during the silent era; a signature mark of Hitch no matter which decade he was working in!

This works only as a typical thriller. Given that Hitchcock was gifted with a kind of magical touch, this could have been perfect. But, simply, this touch does not exist here. He seems no longer interested in making character studies - besides, the script's characters are too weak to do so. "Family Plot" is good but, without being too strict or demanding, I see it as just a minor addition to an already brilliant filmography.

positives: interesting cast filled with not so big names, loved george and blanche, the car scene, the ending. negatives: interesting cast in need of a big name, would have preferred that the film be darker and less comical.

The movie is fun, but the acting is terrible. The plot? Not so good. And what about that road scene? Simply ridiculous.

It have a lot of falling this movie like a scene with a car but still has a Hitchcock note...

Granted, this isn't top-tier Hitchcock, or even 2nd-tier. However, it sure isn't as bad as its reputation. It feels rather like a TV movie, and the humor is mostly pretty dumb, but it's a fun time.
