INSTANT FAMILY
11/2 stars out of 5
This film is not a comedy. I makes you think that by the trailer...but definitely not a comedy.
It is a drama about the issues that happen, good and bad, when bringing foster children into your home. So what you get is an hour and a half of kids and parents behaving badly, and are highly annoying. Like nails on a chalk board annoying. Yes we are suppose to feel sorry for the children, knowing the background they came from, but that is beyond what happens in this film.
Plus there are way too many storylines of...The mom of trying to get the kids back. The grandparents. The Foster group. The teenage foster child and a creepy boyfriend. Then for some odd reason...Joan Cusak shows up for 2 minutes at the end. What???!!! They had Joan Cusak and used her for only 2 minutes. What a mess.
I did not even touch on the acting...which was lacking.
So if I had to give anything a positive it was probably honest about how tough it is to assimilate foster kids and foster parents into one home.
This is worth waiting for home viewing, that is for sure...it is not fun.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time
