Dan Morgan (Mark Wahlberg) loves his quiet suburban life as a devoted husband, father of three and successful car salesman. But that's only half the story. Decades earlier, he was an elite government assassin tasked with eliminating the world's deadliest threats. When enemies from his past track him down, Dan packs his unsuspecting wife (Michelle Monaghan), angsty teen daughter, pro-gamer teen son and adorable 10-month-old baby into their minivan and takes off on an impromptu cross-country road trip to Las Vegas. Determined to protect his family -- while treating them to the vacation of a lifetime -- Dan must put his long-dormant skills into action, without revealing his true identity

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Heavy on rote action and light on laughs, The Family Plan aimlessly imitates an array of films that tell similar stories -- and often in more compelling fashion.

Barry Levitt Empire Magazine 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. Rated: 2/5 Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The premise for this action comedy is solid... yes. Even intriguing. The execution, however, is slipshod, bland and at times downright distracted. Rated: 2/5 Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times That scenario is played for laughs in the goofy, occasionally amusing yet tone-deaf and casually violent Apple TV+ film... Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 16, 2023 Full Review Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk 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. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Pallavi Keswani The Hindu In The Family Plan, a lot of opportunities are surrendered in favour of dull characters, and an even duller plot. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media 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.

Trevor B The Family Plan was pretty good, but very dragged out!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Chris O Dumb fun. Better than the 27% critics score. I'd give it about a 55%. If it wasn't such a worn out premise it probably would have fared a little better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Joshua V The family plan review I love how funny this movie is action fight scene the baby is hilarious one of my favorite movies 5 star 10 out 10 star 100 out 100 star Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Jeff B This movie is so generic and by the numbers. It’s like a completely soulless movie spat off an assembly line. It is also unintentionally hilarious in how uneven it is. One moment it is like a silly kids movie and the next there is some graphic death scene. My wife wanted to watch it and I feel like I was subjected to it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Christopher D Crap, crap and more crap. So many movies did this premise better. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review J D starts off strong and then disintegrates into a muddle of cliches and predictability...any movies set in Vegas should be proceeded with caution Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
