![]() This may look and feel like a mainstream Hollywood family comedy, but it cuts to some pretty deep places, poses some rather gutting questions, and does it all with such a strong sense of purpose itï¿ 1/2(TM)s impossible to ignore.Īlso, the The Blind Side bit is too good and Tig Notaro and Octavia Spencer need a buddy comedy in an active stage of production like yesterday.įamily-friendly fare is hard to come by in terms of quality content, due to the fact that every story has pretty much been told. Wahlberg and Byrne do their best versions of their most likable personas and the kids are even better. Yeah, this is about as accessible and as broad a comedy a studio can make, but the film doesnï¿ 1/2(TM)t sugarcoat the harsh realities of the foster care system and, more specifically, the circumstances of the scenario weï¿ 1/2(TM)re presented with in the film. Instant Family balances the reality and seriousness of the issues with the system and the numerous unseen ramifications being risked when taking on the task of fostering or adopting with the humor necessary to make it through everything without losing ones mind. This hit a certain personal spot for me & the wife having recently gone through the process of opening our house for adoption/fostering.
