Mark Wahlberg seems to have developed a knack for leading family movies. Prior to his role as the leading man in "Instant Family," Wahlberg was kicking butt and taking names in a variety of action films. Now, in Apple TV's "Family Plan," he blends his action-packed past with the endearing awkward dad character, portraying a former government assassin with a wife and children. The supporting cast of family members enhances the film's appeal with their strong performances.
"Family Plan" does a fine job of balancing lighter comedic moments with action. Despite a handful of poorly conceived gags, a predictable storyline, and a formulaic plot, it doesn't feel overly dumbed-down, a common pitfall in many family movies. Instead, it offers just enough fun and fresh material to make it an enjoyable choice for a family movie night.
