What Instant Family Is About

Sean Anders's 2018 film follows a couple who decide to foster. They agree to take three siblings at once. The eldest is fifteen. The film shows the process as neither easy nor hopeless; the narrative makes the training sessions a source of humour and does not write the children's own family out. The director drew on his own experience. Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne lead. The tone sits between comedy and drama. Who it's for: those who like family drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting every difficulty of the process shown; the film softens some of it.
