Well it is not always as easy as it may seem. So no pun intended - we are family ... as a song suggests. But not all families are alike ... and not all families do like ... each other. Especially when it comes down (boils down) to getting a lot of money ... one way or another. Of course getting inheritance is something some people look forward to - openly ... and others just have it in the back of their mind. How to draw the real character and see who is deserving .. well you can say the movie (characters) have it in for them here. You hopefully will like the comedy and humor - with some interesting twists along the way too ... not super special (and overall for many I reckon predictable) ... but decent enough ... which again, can't be said about most characters I reckon.

"Inheritance," directed by Sylwester Jakimow, is a cinematic disaster. The nonsensical plot revolves around a family subjected to a ridiculous game by their deceased patriarch. The pacing is painfully slow, making the two-hour runtime feel like an eternity. Characters lack depth, and performances are unconvincing. The ill-timed comedy background score undermines any serious moments, highlighting the film's failure to deliver even basic storytelling. It's a confusing, pretentious mess, devoid of any entertainment value. Every aspect, from direction to script, screams amateurish. Avoid this trainwreck at all costs.

It's not a good movie, but it's far from bad either. It's just an average movie that tries hard to be like "Knives Out" but tries to do too much too fast. There are too many threads and they are conducted chaotically. The characters are painfully exaggerated, and the main intrigue is solved by an 8-year-old - literally, a child solves the entire intrigue. What saves the whole film is that it is even funny at times, and the actors try their best to save the script. Speaking of actors, they are top actres in Poland. That's why the film got 6/10 from me - a point higher because the film tries and the actors do what they can to make it a good show. You can watch a movie and then forget about it, because it's the type of movie that you watch with one eye and browse your phone with the other. It's ok as a casual session.

This movie gets a bad wrap but I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. I thought it was very creative, and innovative to combine mystery with comedy, and I laughed at the absurd of every situation. I like the exaggerated style of the characters. The plot is quite unpredictable, and that's precisely why it makes it so interesting for me. I also like the message the uncle was trying to teach the family, of the importance of family union rather than money. It is fun if you want to watch something light hearted, where you don't feel you are losing neurons while you watch it (what happens with some more famous American comedies). I had a good time.

Silly, but not in a good way. Unlikeable characters; poor dubbing in which the English words don't always make sense. I know it's supposed to be played for laughs, but how stupid is it at the beginning when family members are racing each other to get to the house, and even though they're about 1/2 mile apart they're driving on the wrong side of the street and swerving from side-to-side with no other car in sight? I guess it's a mystery but not very compelling. Family interaction, in which you can't decide which family member you hate the most; I watched it while reading a book. At least the book was good.

Even though I watched Spadek (Inheritance) dubbed in English with voice overs, it was still really good-a real treat for fans of this type of movie. The story was intriguing and kept me engaged from start to finish. The visuals were beautiful, with stunning cinematography. The performances were also noteworthy, with each actor bringing a unique flair to their character. The ending was surprising and delivered a great message. Overall, Spadek (Inheritance) is a film that deserves more recognition. Whether you're in the mood for a laugh or a puzzle to solve, this movie delivers on both fronts. It's a perfect choice for a relaxing movie night. I highly recommend giving it a chance-you might just find yourself pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed watching it and wish there were more movies like this.

A rich inventor and ex game show host has died and the family are invited to his mansion to hear his will. However to get hold of all his patents, those present must play a series of elaborate games if they are to win anything. In many ways like 'Clue' sans the subtlety. Each family member is eccentric, with issues and talks very fast often nonsensically and the whole thing, dotted as it is with some fun moments is far to frantic. The twists and turns, bar a neat little feller right at the end, fall rather flat and keeping track of the barmy mystery is itself quite an ordeal. One or two enjoyable bits, it's nice to look at with some fun sets, but overall it's performed as if it were a pantomime and overall is really too fraught to take in.
