Movie: The Family

Okay this movie is hilarious. I wasn't so sure how I would feel about this movie, but I thought my dad would like it so we got it for Christmas for him and watched it as a family. So worth the $20 to buy the dvd.

A father, mother, daughter and son are in protective services because the father ratted out his brothers in the mafia and they are after to kill him.

It's pretty funny movie because the family is used to living a life in the mafia and doing what they want to get what they want, but they can't or they have to move again.

The dad isn't really allowed to leave the house and the house is on constant surveillance. He tells the neighbors he's a writer and writing a book about some history, when in fact he's writing his memoirs.

The mother likes to blow things up. She blows up a grocery store when they say Americans are stupid.

The son is great at gathering intelligence and using others to get them to do what he wants.

The sister is a little crazy, she beats some guy up with a tennis racket when they are trying to hook up with her before they even know her.

The dad beats up a plummer really badly when they find their water is orange and he doesn't give him the answer he wants, he then drags a politician behind his car when he doesn't give him the answer he wants and ultimately he blows up the faulty tank that is causing his water to be orange.

At the end the mafia finds out where they are hiding because of a newspaper clipping with a quote on it that the son remembered his dad saying that linked him together.

The whole family needs to come together to beat this one, including the son and daughter. The two bodyguards are killed, and the mother is almost raped and killed when the dad comes and they are tag teaming. The son and daughter team up and then ultimately they end up with everyone dead (the mafia guys, not the family)

The family has to move yet again at the very end, wonder where they will end up next.
