Review of The Family

The Family (I) (2013)
7/10
Decent Family Movie
24 November 2013
I don't think anyone is trying to say that this is the best film that De Niro or Pfeiffer have ever appeared in but it's a decent movie with a few laughs.

De Niro plays a grumpy Italian father under the witness protection with his family forced to move to France. Attempts to fit in with the local community form the main part of the film followed by a do or die final confrontation when the family finally catch up with them

I really like the role of the son and his school interactions.

The timing of the release in the UK is pitched about. right for the lead up to Christmas.

There aren't many laugh out loud moments but there a plenty of chuckle moments and if you're looking for a nice feel good film this is a good choice
