Our Review
When Pete and Ellie decide to take the plunge on fostering, they are in for a wild ride. They instantly go from the "just us" quiet moments and dinners to a sibling set of three kids with a teenager at the forefront of it all. The dinners become hilarious chaos from one child just wanting to eats chips, an accident-prone child and the teenager with the bad attitude.
This film will really tug at your heart too, so many kids are in the system and just desperately need a home, family and love. Many of you will relate to those same feelings and trepidation that Pete and Ellie felt, they weren't one of those amazing over charitable couples, they weren't special type of people that did these sorts of things, they were just everyday regular people that decided to foster/adopt.
The storyline is very present in the way that it highlights the best and the maybe not so best of fostering. The comedy that exudes is relatable to any family. Instant Family is an instant hit for the family this holiday season.
