! I thought it was a comedy about a family in witness protection, I was wrong! It did have its funny moments, but I would consider this more of a drama with action scenes. I will warn you if you are not a fan of foul language, then this is not the movie for you. There is a lot of swearing, but at times it was funny. One word they say quiet often can mean a number of things, like great dinner, I'm mad, etc. So in that instance, I thought the swearing was quiet funny. This was a very entertaining movie from beginning to end. I don't want to give too much away, but they way it ends it does leave it open for a sequel. I did enjoy this movie, but I know with the violence and swearing, it may turn off some people. This is NOT a family film, so make sure the kids are tucked in to bed before watching!
The Family
Academy Award® Winners Robert De Niro* and Tommy Lee Jones** star in this action comedy from executive producer Martin Scorsese and acclaimed director Luc Besson. A Mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France under the Witness Protection Program after snitching on the mob. Despite Agent Stansfield’s (Tommy Lee Jones) best efforts to keep them in line, Fred Blake (Robert De Niro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D’Leo), can’t help resorting to old habits by handling their problems the “family” way. Chaos ensues as their former Mafia cronies try to track them down, and scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings.
