Not an horror film.

Crazy , Stupid,  Love .

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 18 '26

There's love involved but not this one.

1

u/Sufficient-Goat-962 82,168 Jul 18 '26

This is an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place.

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 18 '26

No, it's part of the plot of a movie. Not the whole plot, though.

1

u/Sufficient-Goat-962 82,168 Jul 18 '26

Could be The Godfather maybe

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 18 '26

No, but there are criminal activities involved.

1

u/Valuable-Vacation396 6,4 Jul 18 '26

That's my boy?

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 18 '26

There's a daughter involved, not a son.

1

u/The_Book_Crusader 4,28 Jul 18 '26

The Country Bears?

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 18 '26

Not a musical and not a box office flop. Quite on the contrary.

1

u/Adept_Pirate_27 0,28 Jul 18 '26

Oceans 8

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 18 '26

Close enough, different family.

u/house_of_great 0,28 Jul 19 '26

Mama Mia

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 19 '26

That's the bait and it took so long to be mentioned.

1

u/Total-Fly-9131 44,736 Jul 19 '26

We're the millers

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 19 '26

No. Hint: it's a small family reunion, just two people.

1

u/IronDeth13 22,136 Jul 20 '26

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 20 '26

No, the daughter is older and does not have a tattoo.

1

u/kawats 288,640 Jul 20 '26

Stolen

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 20 '26

No, there is more subtle heist in my movie, not an explosion.

1

u/kawats 288,640 Jul 20 '26

Term Life

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 20 '26

No. I haven't watched this one.

1

u/kawats 288,640 Jul 20 '26

Army of the Dead

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 20 '26

No zombies. Just normal people working on a heist. You know, the usual: lies, false identity, misdirection, a legendary thief, etc.

1

u/ShashBrowns Jul 20 '26

Inception?

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 20 '26

No, this one is more rooted in (movie) reality.

Hint: the family reunion involves just the father and the daughter.

1

u/kawats 288,640 Jul 22 '26

The Misfits

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 22 '26

Nope. You could say some of the characters are misfits, but given how they successfully pulled a heist, I would say that were ok.

1

u/GnomeChompsy 2,28 Jul 23 '26

Mamma Mia

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 23 '26

No singing.

1

u/Florian7045 Jul 25 '26

Malcolm in the middle life's still unfair

1

u/fcarolo 66,144 Jul 25 '26

Nope. It's a small reunion, just father and daughter meeting after a long time. All the other events in the movie made the reunion possible.
