December is always a great time to get comfy on the sofa and enjoy a few movies old and new. And that means heading to your favourite streaming service to see what they have on offer. Netflix has Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Paramount+ has Good Burger 2, and AppleTV+ has just released the trailer for The Family Plan.
The film stars Mark Wahlberg as a doting father and husband who lives a happy quiet life. This is then turned upside down when his former life catches up with him. And so he takes his wife – played by Michelle Monaghan – and his teen son and daughter and 10-month-old baby to Vegas.
Family planning in Vegas
“Dan Morgan (Wahlberg) loves his quiet suburban life as a devoted husband, father of three and successful car salesman. But that’s only half the story. Decades earlier, he was an elite government assassin tasked with eliminating the world’s deadliest threats,” the synopsis explains. “When enemies from his past track him down, Dan packs his unsuspecting wife (Monaghan), angsty teen daughter, pro-gamer teen son and adorable 10-month-old baby into their minivan and takes off on an impromptu cross-country road trip to Las Vegas. Determined to protect his family — while treating them to the vacation of a lifetime — Dan must put his long-dormant skills into action, without revealing his true identity.”
Alongside Wahlberg and Monaghan, the film co-stars stars Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Saïd Taghmaoui, Maggie Q and Ciarán Hinds.
The Family Plan won’t be in theatres but you can see the first trailer below. An Apple original film produced by Skydance Media, it’ll premiere on 15th December 2023 on Apple TV+.
