There are many things that French director Luc Besson can claim to be. Funny is not one of them. This may, in part, explain why he thought it a wise idea to cast the also remarkably unfunny Robert DeNiro as the lead in his action-comedy
The Family (formerly known as
Malavita). Based on the trailer, the end result is about as you would expect.
A mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France
under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob. Despite
the best efforts of Agent Stansfield to keep them in line, Fred
Manzoni, his wife Maggie and their children Belle and Warren can't help
but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems
the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them
down.
Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones also star but, really, who cares? Aint nobody going to see this when it hits screens.
