Instant Family Ratings & Reviews

  • Jamie Talbot5d ago
    I love this movie so much. Lots to take in and very rewatchable. The story is perfect and the acting is convincing. I can’t say for definitive how well it captures the adoption process but it felt real.

    This movie had such a happy ending, it made me cry a little bit.

    “No, I think the clippers are awesome. I think they were smart trading Blake Griffin, their best player. - Pete Just fun. Not overly sappy. Really liked the Wahlberg & Byrne pairing. ⚽️🎢👨‍👧‍👦👩‍👧
