The Manzoni family, a notorious mafia clan, is relocated to Normandy, France under the Witness Protection Program, where fitting in soon becomes challenging, as their old habits die hard.
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 CIA Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert De Niro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo) 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. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings.Written by

After beating up the plumber, Robert De Niro's character quotes a line by Al Capone: "You can get further with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word." This same line is said by De Niro when he played Al Capone in The Untouchables (1987). See more »

Maggie blows up (part of) the grocery store. Almost immediately we hear the siren of a fire tender. We see the fire truck pass Maggie's car within a minute. Too soon, guys. Too soon. See more »
At the beginning, the words "father", "mother", "son" and "daughter" are shown and intersected. Some of the letters vanish, and the remaining ones spell the film's title. See more »
This Movie Is Terrible. Don't Believe The Great Reviews Planted By The Studio Here...
This movie sucks, and sucks really bad. Don't waste your time and/or money on this STINKER.
The story is disjointed, and it is very difficult to believe that a movie that had a production Budget of 30 million dollars could be so terrible.
Believe me, I am quite sure that the crappy reviews are going to start showing up here really soon, and will start to outweigh the paid, and planted reviews.
I was going to walk out of the movie theatre and ask for my money back, but I kept watching the movie to see if it would get any better. IT NEVER DID... My suggestion is not to waste 1 single penny on this movie. Pure Garbage of a dumb mixed up story line that goes nowhere!!!!
