“Instant Family” is a 2018 American family comedy-drama film starring Mark Wahlberg (Pete) and Rose Byrne (Ellie) as parents who adopt three siblings – Lizzy, Juan, and Lita – played by Isabela Moner, Gustavo Quiroz and Julianna Gamiz.

When Pete and Ellie decide to start a family, they 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, they find themselves speeding from zero to three kids overnight. Now, Pete and Ellie must try to learn the ropes of instant parenthood in the hope of becoming a family.

The plot of this movie is heartfelt and touching and will have viewers filled with all different emotions.

There are so many major strengths in this movie. First, all the actors did an amazing job portraying the characters. Second, this movie shows the strength of family and is full of love. It’s definitely worth watching and spreads a positive message. This movie had the strength of being very realistic.

One weak point of this movie is the language. It’s a very family-oriented movie and for the movie to have that much profanity is a little disappointing. This is a movie that’s worth watching but preferably not with your children.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
