User Reviews

Classic family film

Nonviolent, nice friendly movie. Energetic throughout the whole film, grabbing your attention with an A+ cast. Gives the mixed family life a reality check, from the new age mom played by Shay Mitchell to the normal average mom played by Jennifer Aniston From the mom who is career minded and has no time to slow down to the mom scared about life because that career minded mother was never there. This film will be an instant classic and a must watch film every year. Just like Pretty Woman,You've Got Mail, Forrest Gump this will be added as a REAL life films. A film to bring the common descent American family back to the big screen. From learning to understand life is never just normal, but how to act normal in that life.
