The Family Plan

This was a cute movie, where Marky Mark (also producer here) is in a physical shape that is truly exceptional, and married to a beautiful wife with only a very civilized age gap. There's product placement, but not too much. There's staggering violence, but it's all squeaky clean so it can be a Xmas movie. All the supporting cast is ethnic just the right amount. The family is flush with tremendous cash, which helps plot advancement as well as beautiful cinematography / scenes.

It was very enjoyable, assuming enough suspension of disbelief. The whole thing is obviously very predictable, but it's executed nicely. Everybody but the teenage daughter is world-class level at something, so while it's promoting family values, it is, for a change, not promoting mediocrity.

I watched this while cycling indoors, was perfect to get me through my winter workout.

This is an action-comedy movie, and it's just a feel-good movie. It's not depressing; rather, it's an enjoyable, chill, and fun movie. Some might not like this type of movie, but there's also people like me who just want to watch action-packed scenes without too much gore, not that violent, and especially obscenity scenes. The bed scenes are just okay, which I like since, as I have said, it is just a family-feel-good movie, and it is appropriate for the movie's theme.

The casting is perfect; I could sense the connection between the characters and each other, and the interaction of the family is very realistic.

The editing is also good, and so far, I have not seen any plot holes. I also love their lines; they wrote the dialogue well. Action scenes are not that repetitive. In that scene where Monaghan broke the bamboo, I really thought she was going to jump, but it was not, and she performed an unexpectable execution.

This movie is recommendable and much more exciting compared to the EX4 lol.

While this is not a movie where you'll be amazed by the plot it sure delivers on both action and comedy fronts and sometimes that's all we need from a movie: to spend a good time laugfhingh and see good action.

A popcorn movie? Sure, but in a wold where,m save a few exceptions, most movies are very slow burns with crap characters only defined by their gender or secuality I'm just hjappy to see a movie that is just a movie.

It has heart too, Michele Monagan never disapoints and even Mark Whalberg does a hreat job as the father figure.

A fun ride throug and through, jighly recommended in these dark times as we all deserve to crack a laugh.

So there was some money left and no ideas. How easy is it just to remake a high scoring film but without the large budget. This is so copied from True Lies, even the main character has the same job and there is also the evil Asian woman. The ending with a show out against the baddies in an empty building, same. Between the first and last act there is the road trip ala National Lampoon's Vacation and it feels as boring as the real trip possibly would be. A few scenes are inserted to show how the kids and parents are growing to eachother. The film is trying to copy the light hearted touch of True Lies but fails. Is it a bad film? No surprisingly it is entertaining enough to sit along, mainly due to the main characters Mark Wahlberg and the amazing Michelle Monaghan. It's an actrice I don't see much, but she does a great job and it feels there is chemistry between both persons. And Mark Wahlberg never changes and I still love this guy for his commitment.

Like a family version of Mr & Mrs Smith. We loved it funny and full of action. Crazy fight scenes. Great chemistry between Mark W and Michell M. And they both have endless energy. Also in great shape.

Star of the show is that adorable baby. His sweet little laugh and perfect timing were spot on. Kids of course come around from being always annoyed at their parents and lying to them to being very impressed and learning the true value of family. The Trevor character is everything that's wrong with young people and it's perfect what where he ends up.

Far-fetched of course and a little silly but so what. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Very entertaining.
