The setpieces are sloppy and unexciting to the extreme, and most of them, like a low-energy fight aboard a double-decker bus, are shapeless to the point that they simply end instead of building to a climactic beat.

Rated: D+

It’s aneven-worse study in lazy filmmaking, aggressively unfunny clichés, and bland action sequences.

Rated: 1/4

The Travers Take

This sequel barely makes the grade as escapism, but wash it down with holiday cheer, put your brain on low power, let forgiveness into your heart and it’s—sound the trumpets—passable.

Rated: 2/4

Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam

Obviously, none of this is to be taken seriously and, wisely, no one involved is doing that. There’s a light, goofy tone to the film that is charming.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

Common Sense Media

What this budding franchise lacks in plausibility or originality, it partially makes up for with its messages about forgiveness and putting family first.

Rated: 4/5

The Family Plan 2 never gets bogged down in pesky things like plot or character development. It’s zippy, nicely shot, and instantly forgettable -- which is to say, it does its job.

my wife wanted to watch something we could both agree on, lighthearted, and maybe funny, is what she asked for. So we ended up with Family Plan 2. I figured it couldnt be worse than #1, which was not good. i was wrong. The writing and plot are Weeeaaaak. I think the acting team did the best they could with bad material. I enjoy the its so bad it's good movies, this is not that. This would be perfect if you are into self flagellation, and torture - but not much else. I can't help but wonder how decent actors end up on turds like this...bad agents and lawyers probably. Oh well.

Not even 10 minutes in the modern day generational hate-propoganda begins. Grumpy great-grandma, almost knifed. The grandparents insulted at their own table. Shut these haters down.
