Slow burner about a Mafia family who are put under the witness protection programme in Normandy after the father survives an attempted hit on him after aggravating a rival Mafia boss. It's supposed to be very funny and with De Niro and Pfeiffer surviving 'hilarious' gangster moments at every turn whilst trying to adapt to their new surroundings you would think you were onto a winner but you really aren't. There is 'action' but it feels a bit like the two lead stars are being coerced into acting their roles, without much thought or emotion. No one really seems to want to be there and it shows. I couldn't get excited or attached to any of the characters.
