La nuit où on a sauvé Maman

A LOT of people these days of internet isolation forget that there are other people in the world. Some are called children. Some are called families. This is a really good family movie. Like so many family movies my parents took us to when I was a kid, The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes, Swiss Family Robinson, That Darn Cat, The Shaggy DA, etc., etc., etc., this movie is made for family viewing. It's also made for children. And older folks who still like family movies. And me. And you. Make some popcorn.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

This movie has a lot of good surprises to it.

I'm not a big fan of Malin Akerman, but I'm not going to say she's not good in action sequence (and she does it in heels), but Joe Manganiello and Ken Marino (who is credited in IMDB as "Glen" though there is a whole running joke with his name being "Ron") both sort of rule the spotlight when they're on screen and she gets overshadowed even though she's the "main" character (at least out of the adults).

The kids mostly do an amazing job, I think they'll be worth watching as they grow in their careers.

The only big "problem" I'm seeing in this is that you're crossing a heist movie with a rescue movie, with kids.....and it feels a lot like "Dora and the Lost City of Gold" they're is even 4 of them, 2 are related. It's more likely just a coincidence of similarities, but it's a god comparison of when it gets noisy versus how to make it more seemless (Dora wins).

Can't imagine this will be disappointing watch for younger audiences, and it's definitely good enough for adults too.

Clancy is a 15 year old girl in suburbia. She fights with her overprotective mother (Malin Akerman). Her father (Ken Marino) is a baker. Her younger brother Kevin tells tall tales. Her best friend Mim is sassy. Kevin has a sleepover with friend Lewis. The four kids are launched into a night of crazy adventures when the parents get kidnapped and they discover that their mother is a former high class thief in witness protection. The mother is reunited with former lover Leo (Joe Manganiello) to steal a valuable crown.

I like all the actors. This is like a combination of Spy Kids and Adventures in Babysitting except less, stupider, and cheaper. It's not the end of the world. I still like the characters for the most part. The kids are all great but it probably has too much of the adults. Jay should definitely be a grizzly old man living in the abandoned subway. This is a Netflix flick which seems to be more than a Disney TV movie but less than a full theatrical release.

Not the best story, mediocre acting but If you don't expect too much, it is quite enjoyable. A casual family action comedy movie with sufficient entertainment. I did enjoy watching it without pause.

I enjoyed the film. But, there are decidedly lame aspects to the story. Production and acting are fine and help the somewhat stale retread of a "secret" family history of a checkered past. Some standard elements of gross out humor that really weren't needed, and the hammer is heavy coming down to have the "lessons learned" from the caper about belief in one's self and love. On the other hand, there wasn't really anything inappropriate for kids and that is sometimes amazing in a film. (And I say that as a single man without any kids.) Been done much better, but this still was a fun film to watch.
