The Family Plan has a right to be this good. Against all odds, this Apple backed action-comedy sticks the landing, not only making this one of the best Mark Wahlberg movies no one has seen, but also reminds audiences why he was Oscar-nominated.

In The Family Plan, a lot of opportunities are surrendered in favour of dull characters, and an even duller plot.

This family-oriented comedy-adventure is best when the humor balances the action, but when it descends into more graphic violence, it loses what makes it original and limits its age appeal.

It could have been worse, if instead of Las Vegas they could have been vacationing in Atlantic City.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 31, 2023

Director Simon Cellan Jones and screenwriter David Coggeshall never find the excitement or humor of that dynamic

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 21, 2023

A comic thriller that isn’t especially funny or particularly exciting, The Family Plan is an overlong slog that struggles to make use of its game cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2023

An action comedy that overdoes the former and stints on the latter. It’s about as enticing as the cellphone offer the title is apparently alluding to.

[A Family Plan] revitalizes Wahlberg's filmography and delivers a disposable, yet effective and entertaining movie. [Full review in Spanish]

| Dec 19, 2023

The "secretly kick-ass suburban guy" trope is well-worn, and David Coggeshall's script lacks both original ideas and the wit needed to make this more fun.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 19, 2023

I actually kind of like it, although I'm not proud of it... The secret weapon of this film is Michelle Monaghan.

The Family Plan is a well-made, well-cast bit of empty nonsense that evaporates quicker than whiz on the Vegas sidewalk in August.

The premise for this action comedy is solid... yes. Even intriguing. The execution, however, is slipshod, bland and at times downright distracted.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 19, 2023

It’s a formulaic action flick, but at least it’s efficiently formulaic and not stuffed with cliffhangers at the end of every hour. It’s not a bad movie to watch with the family; better yet, you can do it in one night instead of over a week.

The Family Plan is a slog to get through as it goes through the motions and can’t seem to muster any laughs or thrills - just utter bewilderment.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 18, 2023

With movies like The Family Plan, it becomes the viewer’s responsibility to entertain themselves. And wondering if the baby is AI-generated or not is a good way to pass the time.

Take the premise from “True Lies” and expand it to include a deceived family rather than just a wife left in the dark and you have “The Family Plan,” an unexpectedly fun piece of popcorn entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 18, 2023

If it wasn’t for the odd bout of surprising violence and sexual suggestion I would say this is at least harmful fun for the whole family, but there’s too many hopeful targets being aimed at that it ultimately fails at hitting its mark.

To give you an idea of just how bad The Family Plan really is, the writers create a mid-credits scene to showcase iPhone product placement. Unfunny, dumb,

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 17, 2023

The Family Plan revolves around the idea of family members recognizing each other for who they truly are, not the expectations set by their relatives. Although the plot follows a familiar formula, the journey it takes is imbued with genuine heart

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Dec 16, 2023

"The Family Plan" is, of course, a comedy, not a message movie. But there is something uncomfortable about the casual, almost gleeful way the film approaches violence, especially when it feels somewhat reactionary across the board.
