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).

New Trailer For The Family
Review For 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
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
While it qualifies as OK entertainment -- especially for early September (that dead zone between summer blockbusters and fall award contenders) -- The Family is ultimately nothing to write home about.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Facetious and amusingly amoral, it lacks cohesion and consistency - and the carnage is far from comedic.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
I guess when we get down to it, Pfeiffer's performance is what nudges The Family into the "recommended" category. Barely.
Pete Vonder Haar-Houston Press
Who still thinks Robert De Niro is a great actor?
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Predictable, dull and chaotic, THE FAMILY is one of the least funny comedies of the year.
JimmyO-JoBlo's Movie Emporium
It's boring and I never thought it would be possible to say that about a De Niro mob movie.
Willie Waffle-WaffleMovies.com
Everything about "The Family" is stereotypical and predictable.
Jeanne Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan
The Blakes are hardly sympathetic figures, so when their lives are threatened, I began to silently root for their demise, if it promised to hasten the movie's end.
David Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan
It runs out of gas before transitioning awkwardly into a revenge drama in the final act, brought about by a series of eye-rolling twists.
