In the off-beat action comedy "The Family," 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 the best efforts of Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert DeNiro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo) can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them down. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings in this darkly funny film by Luc Besson (Taken, Transporter). (c) Relativity MediaMovie Title : The Family

Review For Movie The Family
This is a deliberately off-kilter, cheerfully violent, hit-and-miss effort with just enough moments of inspiration to warrant a recommendation.Richard Roeper-Chicago Sun-Times
A movie with a PG brain and a NC-17 body count, unsuitable for audiences of any age.
Christopher Orr-The Atlantic
A black comedy that doesn't begin to jell but has a sweetheart of a cast and the odd diverting moment.
David Edelstein-Vulture
The casting of Robert De Niro as an ex-Mafioso hiding in witness protection is witty in only the silliest, most superficial way. It's a joke with its own tinny, built-in laugh track.
Adam Nayman-Globe and Mail
The Family is a film at once strange and intriguing. It can't seem to settle on a tone.
David Hiltbrand-Philadelphia Inquirer
The film isn't worthy of De Niro's stature, in the gangster sub-genre or otherwise.
Adam Graham-Detroit News
The Family is the version [of mobster films] that abandons all logic opting for a route that seems derived from a Loony Tunes episode.
Robert Kojder-What Culture
This humourless satire about a Mob family in hiding in France collapses under the strain of meaningless violence and a charmless, wandering plot.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize
I recommend The Family in the same way I might mint-flavored gum. It's not what you would hope for, but when choosing at random, you'd do worse a little more often than not.
Mack Rawden-CinemaBlend.com
Neither comedy nor drama, 'The Family' is a combination of both that sometimes works when it decides what it wants to be.
Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
De Niro is a pleasure to watch in a role that calls on him to exercise his comedic chops with some degree of subtlety.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks
Well cast and sharply directed by Besson, who also co-wrote the script, "The Family" flows easily for the first half.
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes
Writer-director Luc Besson can do much better than this.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
a surprisingly flat satire
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
Beware of This Family
Diana Saenger-ReviewExpress.com
A strange mash-up of a vicious mob yarn squeezed into a foul-mouthed, movie-length sitcom.
Neil Pond-American Profile
Why does stuff like this have to happen?
Bob Grimm-Tucson Weekly
Besson and Michael Caleo just never manage to hit that sweet spot between comedy and drama, much less give us a reason to care about this unrepentant family of criminals.
Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide
The film's remorseless brutality in response to relatively minor transgressions is hard to swallow, even for those with the darkest senses of humor.
Steve Davis-Austin Chronicle
The Family is filled with Besson's signature visual wit, boasting occasionally sharp satire aimed equally at both sides of the Atlantic, but he lets us down in the end through the deadly combination of broad characters and a rambling narrative.
Joshua Starnes-ComingSoon.net
Great chemistry from the cast and the thrilling action made it entertaining for all.
Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum
Talent abounds but the movie can't balance the comedy and drama.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
Quite literally self-parody--only without the self-awareness of Analyze This.
Michael Nordine-Willamette Week
Obviously Robert De Niro was abducted by aliens, and the fellow we've watched sleepwalk through nearly 20 years of shlock is a pod person. A pod person with a terrible agent.
Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
Despite the excessive violence, this is an enjoyable film providing needed escapist entertainment, well directed by Besson with fine performances by all, especially Argon.
Tony Medley-Tolucan Times
"Luc Besson has done the seemingly impossible. He's resuscitated the corpse of Robert De Niro's career."
Daniel M. Kimmel-New England Movies Weekly
