...first the movie is very well done (unlike many commentators that seem that do not know about Cinema technical aspects commenting how bad is Besson as director...), the original music and the selected tunes are perfect, all the actors are pretty good here included the cartoonish roles, the color palette is well choose, even the final titles are cool. Second, do not expect more than a meantime movie but good crafted and remembering that still this is cinema may be not the best but is not a TV movie.The plot is simple but full of cliché of the mafia genre; this could be good or bad depending on your side. There s a big mistake in the plot regarding a barbecue/party, but seemed the only way to make the "connection" between couple of characters; anyway, the "first" section of the movie is somewhat too "Hollywood" regarding High school stereotypes and the pace is not good enough; may be cut a few minutes there could be better; however in the "final" part, the things start to speed up a bit and the motion is right there. Plus D Agron is really a beauty (a talented one)

The Family is relatively entertaining and is a more comical look at life in organized crime. A family is on the run from the Mafia and arrive in a remote place in France. Each family member is shown be equally devious and harbor criminal intentions. The film excels with its humor and the quirky characters in the film. It certainly cannot be taken too seriously and the viewer can be quite certain everyone will be okay. The tone and nature of this movie informs you can expect a happy ending. It is enjoyable and perfect if you want to enjoy a film without having to think too much. The cast are captivating to watch and really carry this film which definitely makes it above average.

It was on TV and I zapped over it, got caught in the story and loved it! Loved the humor and violent scenes and overall setting in France with gangsters! What a combination! Recommended it to co-workers and they watched it also. We reviewed it in our office and concluded to give it an 8. Very watchable with good actors.

I quite enjoyed this film. It was a very entertaining movie, full of laughs! It was refreshing see Robert DiNero in a light hearted film, alongside Tommy Lee Jones.This film had a very light sense to it, with a hint of a dark atmosphere!Overall I would say it was quite an excellent film, however raunchy it may be and refreshing change from your typical Rogan movie.I hope this review on "The Family" was helpful to whomever decides to read this.8/10
