The Family

This fish-out-of-water action comedy stars Robert DeNiro as a mafia boss whose family goes into witness protection in France with less-than-stellar success. Michelle Pfeiffer plays his mob wife and mother to their two kids, Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D’Leo). Turns out you can take mobsters out of the “family” but you can’t take the “family” out of the mobsters, making for darkly funny consequences for this cut-throat pack of snitches. The Family opens Friday, Sept. 13.
