The Family Plan 2

Sigh...I tried to be positive the entire time I was watching the movie, honest, but its just so bad! Why Mark? Why make a movie like this when you could've left the original to be alone in mediocrity? This movie is beyond turn your brain off - it lacks any sense of reality at all. I know, I know movies like this aren't supposed to have reality but come on! A highly trained assassin making so many dumb errors just hurts the premise of the movie. And the young kid actor - arghhh, nothing but annoying the entire movie. Find the kid a babysitter forwarding out loud! Ibfeel bad for the people in this movie and hope they save whatever they were paid because their resumes aren't going to be filled with much if relying on this.

Horr-aweful movie. Bad premise. Bad writing. Bad acting outside of experienced adults. Bad effects and I'm bad for not making better use of my time while it was on. I should've folded laundry or meal prepped...lost time now.

I'll admit Michelle is always gorgeous to watch but even that didn't rescue the film for me. I felt almost no real effort by anybody went into this film. It simply felt like chatGPT had come up with the story line.

The locations also seemed entirely arbitrary. As if the cast wanted to just get air miles. I fell asleep about 3/4 of the way through so it may of got better but everything up to that point seemed a bit pointless.

Uninspired HS level directing screenplay acting much like this review.

I wonder if this was some uncle pulling favors for a nephew. But then how did they get this cast? And what was Mark thinking.

I guess it was shot in Paris so that is a plus.

Three stars because I don't know what one star would mean really.

Absolute cliché in every moment, boring even skipping fully predictable scenes, conversations. 3 star only goes to the professional craftsmen who worked well for their salary. I could feel even on the actors asking the Director: "usual character, nothing special, or twist? OK, too easy... here you are."

I wasn't expecting this movie to be theater. I was expecting it to be a good movie to watch as a family. The first part of this is fine, but it goes downhill quick and they do it in several ways. First, the premise behind the bad guy is dumb. Second, you get a teenager who games all of the time that is able to hack a highly-secured system from the streets of France. He is hacking a computer, a server or the dreaded misused term, 'mainframe'. You don't know because they use all three terms, but somehow the super teenage gamer knows how to hack them all. No global villain is going to have a damn mainframe. Then, there is the parkour boyfriend. Somehow he does all of this fancy parkour to help Mark Wahlberg's out across the rooftops of Paris. However, Wahlberg is with him stride for stride without any parkour. And don't get me started with the whole Greenpeace mention. The final ending? Dumb, dumb and dumb. This entire motive behind this movie from Amazon must have been, "We need something with some action. Don't waste your time on writing, character building or anything." Again, garbage.
