      It is revealed that the three children's surname is Ward. This could be a hint of irony as the children are "wards of the state" until they are adopted.

    Sappy but it grows on you.
    Obnoxious Yuppies rent three kids to see if they will like being parents. Suspension of disbelief is required, of course, because in real life there is a shortage of non-dysfunctional kids to be adopted. The dad is a real jerk and the mom is very likeable. Good for kids.
