***1/2
I love movies and I watch a LOT of them! Every movie I watch and every season of a TV series I watch will receive between zero and four stars. When I watch with my other half, you will see a (P) after my star grade and an (M) after his. I'm also (very slowly) adding in my "Best of the Year" lists from 1990 on (for both movies and music), as well as eventually adding the results for my yearly movie awards (1998 on).

FAMILY PLOT (2-7-11)
Alfred Hitchcock's final film is a comedy-thriller starring Barbara Harris as a phony psychic/con artist and Bruce Dern as her taxi driver/private investigator boyfriend. While trying to find a missing heir in California (for a handsome reward) the two cross paths with a pair of serial kidnappers (Karen Black and William Devane). The film is entertaining and clever enough, but comes across as a bit flimsy compared to Hitchcock's earlier works. Special kudos to the excellent cast and John Williams' delightful score.
