Instant Family
2018 | 118 min | K-7 | comedy, drama
Pete and Ellie Wagner have always been considered in their close circles as those who will not have children. But the idea of little feet in the house is starting to appeal. At the same time, they want to do good, and decide to resort to adoption.
They end up at a course organized for future adoptive parents, during which the course participants and its leaders become friends, and after the course they form a peer support group. A joint picnic event between the children in the orphanage and the future adoptive parents makes the Wagners realize that everyone only wants to take in small children, while the teenagers are practically left in the category of children of the poor.
A short encounter with the quick-witted and clever Lyzzy changes the Wagners’ minds and, swayed by warning voices, they get three children instead of one – Lyzzy and her two younger siblings. Directed by Sean Anders. As actors, e.g. Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne and Isabela Merced.
