The Family Plan (2025)

I read a review that basically said that this is a decently entertaining action movie, and I would agree. Mark Wahlberg is the perfect actor to pull off a character who is now changing diapers but used to be a paid assasin, and when his cover is blown, he needs to not rile up his family too much but also to keep them safe they need to be on the run--they are making their way to Vegas to get their fake. After fending off assassins all the way from New York to Nevada, but always in a way that everyone but the baby misses, the Morgans finally get to the City of Sin, and while I’m willing to suspend some disbelief to help a dumb comedy like this work, Dan leaving his kids, including the baby, to go out to a nice dinner with Jessica, is literally insane. Of course, the Morgans get separated, McCaffrey finds them, and everyone learns the truth. I watched this on a trans Pacific flight--in other words, the perfect setting to tolerate an utterly unbelievable plot that is helped along by an amiable and likable lead actor, and enjoyed it way more than the critics apparently did.
