Review of Instant Family (2018) by Livelovelaugh22 — 21 Jun 2020
This is one of those movies that is just hard to review. The casting was great, with some big names including Mark Wahlberg, who performed well in this lighthearted film. I'm going to start with the comedy.
The movie had funny slapstick comedy situations, with a solid bit of shock humor. The movie featured a disgusting scene that I don't care to talk about. Other than that sexual pile of goop and the 'beaner' gag, the movie took a lighthearted, and family friendly approach to humor.
The movie tackled a serious topic in the form of foster kids, adoption, crime, and more. The problem with the drama implemented in this film was that there was always a cliché, happy ending to the situation.
The ending was picture perfect, and everything felt so forced. That doesn't work when you're trying to make a drama. Though there are seemingly a ton of things I didn't like, it was an enjoyable crowd pleaser.
Be in the right mindset to enjoy this.
