Yes Day

Garners and Ramirez talents are really wasted on this movie. Spoiled bratt kids whom have every comfort in life plus unconditional love of their parents, but yet, its not enough. I had to stop watching after half the movie because I could not stop thinking about less fortunate children who would do anything to have half of what these kids have.

I wish it atleast was fun to watch like the movie "Alexander and the no good very bad day", but this one was plain boring from start to end.

I found it really boring, a bit cringe inducing and pretty pointless. Maybe kids nine and under would enjoy it.

Free spirit Allison (Jennifer Garner) marries soulmate Carlos Torres (Edgar Ramírez) and they have three kids. Somewhere along the way, she becomes an over-protective mom. Her kids are not happy with her controlling ways. The school counsellor suggests giving the kids a Yes Day, a day when Allison says yes to her kids' every wish... within reason.

It's not the worst premise in the world especially for a family film. Garner can do the hyper mommy type. She's also trying to tap into 13 Going on 30 but it's a bit more forced when it's 15 Going on 50. Now, most of this movie is random forced fun and that's not that much fun. It's definitely juvenile and I guess that's the point. The movie finally gets somewhere with the parents in jail. The last act is more compelling but that's not saying much. It's a safe evening for the family to watch together and that's worth something.

There's nothing special about the film. You shall watch it with your family and have a good time while watching it. That's it.

I'm seeing a lot of hate from people who watched it without kids. YOU'RE NOT THE DEMOGRAPHIC! Just for that reason you should keep your thoughts and rating to yourself.

I watched this with my wife and 4 kids and we all really enjoyed it. There was something for everyone to relate to and everyone liked it, from my 2 year old to my 10 year old. While the plot may seem a little predictable from watching hundreds of films like this growing up, it's new for the kids. We all laughed and I may have even shed a test or two.

If you are watching this with your kids, you'll love it. If you don't have kids, or they're grown, don't bother.
