About Instant Family:This heartwarming film, inspired by real events from the life of writer/director Sean Anders, follows Pete (Mark Wahlberg) and Ellie (Rose Byrne) as they decide to start a family and stumble into the world of foster-care adoption. They hope to take in one small child, but when they meet three siblings, including a rebellious 15-year-old girl (Isabela Moner), they find themselves speeding from zero to three kids overnight. Now, Pete and Ellie must hilariously try to learn the ropes of instant parenthood in the hopes of becoming a family. INSTANT FAMILY also stars Octavia Spencer, Tig Notaro and Margo Martindale.
My thoughts:
I loved Instant Family and the fact that it was inspired by a real-life family. It had a lot of funny moments, and yet it also handled the topic of foster-care adoption realistically by showing that it's not always easy to build a family this way. There are guaranteed to be numerous problems due to the children's pasts and the legal system, but the long-term rewards are worth the struggles for most families. Instant Family was the perfect mix of humor and realism, and really inspired me to think more about the foster-care system and the number of children who need families. At the same time, it was a very enjoyable movie to watch with an excellent cast and storyline. Highly recommended!
