"The thing about my folks" is a touching and insightful film dealing with family relationships and provides a wonderful platform for the father (Falk) and son (Reiser) to interact with one another. It would have been a truly wonderful film but Reiser, who wrote the screenplay, chose to include continual flatulence gags and an unnecessary stream of profanity, which had me squirming uncomfortably in my seat. I can relate to many of the things that were covered in the film but I'd never use such profanity in a conversation with my father. If he had chose the higher ground and omitted the objectionable content I would've been able to whole heartedly recommended this motion picture to everyone I know but as it is I can't even watch it with my own family.

Just a lame mobster flick attempting to be entertainment. I enjoy a good gangster movie but this one missed the mark by a mile. Poorly written and plain senseless & dumb violence insulted my intelligence. You'd be better off spending 24 hours elsewhere.

If you like to suffer, if you like to inflict pain to yourself then go ahead and waste your time watching this garbage. Just plain awful acting with a really horrid script. There's nothing even remotely funny about this movie except if you think about how much you wasted on going to see it or how much you paid to rent it.
