Samantha Quan, who coached the kid actors on The Florida Project, went on to coach the children on this film. She obviously did a wonderful job because these kids are great. They all bring the tears.
I truly respect Sean Anders and the studio for making this film. I think it'll have a very positive impact and actually change lives. This film is about as mainstream as it gets so it'll speak to a very large audience and one of the first credits to appear at the end is for InstantFamily.org, the official site of the film which is focused on giving info on adoption and foster care.
And Isabela Moner has a HUGE career ahead. She can act and sing. Currently in production on Dora the Explorer... she's Dora.
Rose Byrne is great as usual. Great comic timing and delivery.

Full review at ScreenCrush.
From “Lone Survivor” and “Deepwater Horizon,” to “Patriot’s Day” and “The Perfect Storm,” Mark Wahlberg devoted the last decade of his career to a hoo-rah brand of heroic nonfiction (it’s always tempting to trace this career pivot back to the actor’s useless claim that he could have stopped the hijackers on 9/11). But the 47-year-old star, ever the savvy businessman, has also hit upon a lucrative side hustle: blockbuster comedies. Low-key funny in earlier films like “Date Night” and “I Heart Huckabees,” Wahlberg parlayed that aspect of his persona into mega-hits like “Ted,” “Ted 2,” “Daddy’s Home,” and — wait for it — “Daddy’s Home 2” (Mel Gibson’s back, and he’s learned the true meaning of Christmas!).
In hindsight, it…
game night, blockers, crazy rich asians and now this? wow 2018 proven itself that comedy isn’t dead after all. like honestly, this movie doesn’t have no right being that good. I’m in tears.
I’ve said it before on here but I work with foster kids. I’m a case aide so my job is to pick up the kids from their foster home, take them to the visit with their parent(s) and supervise the visit until it’s over then I bring the kids back to their foster home. So I was interested in seeing this. It was pretty cute some of the lines really fuckin got to me I definitely cried lol. I love the kids I work with sooooooooo flippin much and was thinking of them a lot
wait WHY IS IT THIS GOOD?? very sweet and a lot funnier than expected!! I think I would have liked it even more if I didn't saw it dubbed in spanish which it's a bad thing but in this case was also kind of a good thing because i'm an idiot and I forgot my glasses at home so I don't know if I would have been able to read subtitles!
anyways, really powerful stuff, especially mark wahlberg screaming "dick pic" like five times. also I might be in love with rose byrne!
The film made me laugh, funnier than I expected it to be! Loved some of the tranisitions.
Went to see this film and I really really really enjoyed it. Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne were both really good in this film. They both made me laugh in this film as did Octavia Spencer. Margo Martindale was really good in her very short role in this film. It definitely smash the 6 laugh test for me. Also the three main young leads were fantastic in this film. Also it made me cry. Make sure you stay to the end of the credits as there are things in the credits. 4.5/5
As an adopted person, Instant Family nails it. It’s moving, funny and touching in all the right ways. With impressive performances across the board and excellent writing, it manages to perfectly balance the harder parts of adoption and the beauty of it. The family have insane chemistry, and watching them bond and connect was endlessly satisfying. The directing and shot composition was surprisingly great, and I was engaged throughout. What makes this film aside from its massive heart and hilarious humour is the characters. They all have individual arcs and all grow thanks to each other in delightful ways. I found myself welling up a lot throughout, and not one joke fell flat. My only real criticism would be with…
The sort of movie that's likely best watched on a plane.
(And I did watch it on a plane, and thought it was absolutely fine.)
this film got even funnier on second watch, i adore every single thing about it, and i can’t wait to see it a million more times.
