Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
This movie has a lot of good surprises to it.
I'm not a big fan of Malin Akerman, but I'm not going to say she's not good in action sequence (and she does it in heels), but Joe Manganiello and Ken Marino (who is credited in IMDB as "Glen" though there is a whole running joke with his name being "Ron") both sort of rule the spotlight when they're on screen and she gets overshadowed even though she's the "main" character (at least out of the adults).
The kids mostly do an amazing job, I think they'll be worth watching as they grow in their careers.
The only big "problem" I'm seeing in this is that you're crossing a heist movie with a rescue movie, with kids.....and it feels a lot like "Dora and the Lost City of Gold" they're is even 4 of them, 2 are related. It's more likely just a coincidence of similarities, but it's a god comparison of when it gets noisy versus how to make it more seemless (Dora wins).
Can't imagine this will be disappointing watch for younger audiences, and it's definitely good enough for adults too.

Not the best story, mediocre acting but If you don't expect too much, it is quite enjoyable. A casual family action comedy movie with sufficient entertainment. I did enjoy watching it without pause.
I enjoyed the film. But, there are decidedly lame aspects to the story. Production and acting are fine and help the somewhat stale retread of a "secret" family history of a checkered past. Some standard elements of gross out humor that really weren't needed, and the hammer is heavy coming down to have the "lessons learned" from the caper about belief in one's self and love. On the other hand, there wasn't really anything inappropriate for kids and that is sometimes amazing in a film. (And I say that as a single man without any kids.) Been done much better, but this still was a fun film to watch.
It's dumb, funny and hardly makes sense. The jokes are okay. Looks like it is aimed at a younger and older demographic. This is definitely in the "watch it with your family on a lazy night" category.
In the age from 5 to100, its entertaining, also funny, and for the small ones pretty tense. the acting are fine, the dialouges scripted and without originality, but a good kids save mum dad flick.
i give it a 6 cause its not disney and the perfection of living arent as flamboyant and perfect as in forementioned productions containing kid actors. so from a grumpy old man its a recommend.
