Review of The Family Plan

In silly but well made, engaging, feel-good actioner "The Family Plan" Marky Mark Whalberg lives a blissfully quiet (boring) life with wife Michelle Monaghan & kids Zoe Margaret Colletti, Van Crosby & baby - who know nada of his previous life as an assassin... until the goons of his ex-boss Ciarán Hinds find him, forcing him on a cross-country road trip (in which he battles them while hiding what's happening) to a glitzy Las Vegas showdown (which goes on a tad too long). It's pure entertainment with no deeper value, but all performances are pitch perfect, David Coggeshall's screenplay is solid, and director Simon Cellan Jones splendidly pulls it all together. It's unadulterated fun.
