Where can I watch The Family?

In the 2013 dark comedy The Family, directed by Luc Besson, we follow Giovanni Manzoni, a former Mafia boss turned whistleblower, who is trying to escape the consequences of his past life. Under the new name Fred Blake, he relocates with his wife, Maggie, and their two children to a quiet French town as part of the Witness Protection Program. However, the tranquil façade of their new life quickly crumbles as the family's ingrained criminal instincts resurface, leading to a series of hilariously chaotic events that threaten their safety. The film deftly balances crime and comedy, showcasing how hard it is to shake off one's roots, even when they are trying to start fresh.

The characters are as colorful as the plot is unpredictable. Giovanni’s transformation from a ruthless mobster to an awkward, suburban dad is both hilarious and poignant, capturing the struggle of a man trying to redefine his identity. His wife, Maggie, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, adds a fierce, yet comedic layer as she navigates the challenges of domestic life while grappling with her own violent tendencies. Their children, Belle and Warren, also embrace their family's legacy in unique ways, leading to both laugh-out-loud moments and genuine tension. The Family is not just a crime thriller; it's a reflection on family loyalty and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones, wrapped in a comedic package that keeps audiences entertained from start to finish.
