Instant Family

This by far one of my favorites movies. Perfect comedy, romance and emotional mix.

A wonderful, touching movie, with lots of humor along with the tears. As an adopting parent, it was a good representation of the ups and downs that come with.

Sometimes it may not be the family you want, but it's the family you need! As a couple attempts to adopt a girl, they get her two siblings along with her, spelling chaos in the household as the two beginner parents attempt to bond with their new children, even when their birth mother returns. This fun and heartfelt family-comedy manages to go from serious to silly on a dime, making it an enjoyable experience!

Who would have thought that Mark Walberg could make such an emotional movie.

loved the movie so much. rewatched it so many times💕

It's just a fun and beautiful story about finding a family with characters played by fantastic actors and actresses 😆🥲🥹🥳🤧

Come across this movie while late night channel-hopping and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by it. An endearing story about family values, the adoption system, and that not all families need to be bound by blood. Wahlberg and Byrne are well cast as the charming foster parents and I really do think that Isabella Merced is one for the future (as long as she's cast in the right type of movies). Ironically not one for young families to watch together as it does deal with some sensitive topic matters however the film's corny ending felt like it was lifted from a straight to streaming Disney+ G-rated movie which creates a bit of an unnatural tonal shift.

This was the perfect Thanksgiving movie for our family. Hilarious and engaging but also moving and authentic. We thought the two leads were perfect together, and the supporting cast was a terrific bonus.

this has that made-for-TV Hallmark channel vibe but it reunites Mark Whalberg and Isabela Moner for a heartwarming story about having a family despite no blood relations doesnt exactly paint a true picture of the foster care system but anyone hoping to adopt children will get some good sentiment out of it this is actually based on the director's real life as well and totally related to me on a personal level Mark Whalberg and Rose Byrne play a couple whom are both in a rut; they seem to be the only ones without children and putting it off for so long so they decide to fill that void adopting not 1, not 2 but 3 Latino kids the oldest is Lizzie played by Isabela Moner who traditionally goes through all the raging hormones but there's a reason she hates the world since her birth mother couldnt get her act together and ended up in prison and Lizzie was forced to be the parent for her siblings now Whalberg and Bryne deal with the ups and downs of having kids around, at times they want to just throw in the towel but isnt that how every parent feels? the job of parenting comes with good and bad, the only way through it is together, the kids need protection whether they want it or not, plus love is what they're supposed to provide granted there's jarring tonal shifts here from being super dramatic to overly funny, some of it isn't balanced that well but there's enough of that close family vibe to recommend it

Awful,awful movie, does not show the trauma of foster care and adoption.
