Ok, I'll make this very straightforward. This is the ideal film if you are a parent looking to spend a nice evening with your kids. The story is simple, easy to follow, somewhat funny at times and very charming for young audiences. I cannot stress enough how this is a movie meant to watch with kids and is unlikely to be satisfying for teens and adults. Overall, this is an "okay" movie and you should not watch this film expecting anything extraordinary.

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.

Surely not one of those movies which are both for adults and children. This one is just for kids. If you are an adult, go watch Jim Carrey's Yes Man.

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

Very entertaining, sweet family friendly movie. Good message! I gave it a 7 because I don't agree with the low grade it has. It is a movie that achieves what it sets out to do: let you and your kids have a nice movie night!!

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.

It's a movie for kids. And even though I'm not a kid, I still found it funny and the amicable ending makes it such a blast to watch when you're bored. Don't be too critical. Just relax and enjoy and you'll have a few laughs.

The reason I didn't rate it lower was because I can see other people liking this.

But I know this isn't the movie for me

The kids were annoying, bratty demons and the first like 20 seconds was hard to watch, I was more on the mom and dad's side mostly through it.

This family comedy is full of good feelings and easily watches as a Sunday afternoon series. it's not the movie of the year but it's nice and neither too heavy nor too long. Entertaining.

This is an indication of family 'comedies' for years to come, the end result of a movie that has been passed through every filter possible to ensure it cannot possibly offend anyone, of any persuasion, anywhere. Which is obviously now the priority over (god forbid) making something entertaining.

What a wonderful world.

I'm laughing at everybody upset about the contrived plot and dumb jokes. It's a family movie, intended to be silly, not something competing for a Palme d'Ore. Maybe if you're watching a Netflix movie where the premise is parents have to say yes to everything their preteen kids want to do you should dial back your expectations about the plot? Did you watch Kindergarten Cop and get upset that Ahnold didn't have a teaching certificate? It's stupid, it's fun, get together with your kids and enjoy it.

...and without reasoning entitled it "Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen". Everybody knows what is the target audience of any movie. So if you watched a family movie while what you wanted was a horror one, then don't blame the movie. And if you blame it, explain why. Unless you are a morron watching whatever the streaming platform brings you without choosing, which is also impossible, because platform's A.I. wouldn't be so silly to propose something you wouldn't like. So, anyone giving this 1 star have something wrong.

To the movie now, it's a cute family movie, some family issues, some family jokes (without the gross ones seen in Vacation movies), and some white thread plot. Nothing new, nothing bad either. I personnaly found it fine

I watched this without kids present, which was my first mistake of many with this film. A first issue I had was that the opening scenes give away the whole story (cool woman gets boring when she has kids, then realises she has to be cool again to win their respect back). Let's be honest, the parents are terrible characters and let their kids get away with downright dangerous activities. Even on the 'Yes Day', the kids do their best to hurt everyone involved. Script and acting felt forced throughout, I won't be recommending this to anyone.

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.

Had my hopes really up & I was looking forward to it as it came from a real writer. The thing is its whats the word nice would describe.

Targeting mother by her kids and turning it into a yes day story for me was not at all cool. Yes, yes day is a real thing. Googled it!

Most of the fun events fail to connect with the audience. One of the obvious exceptions, the part containing the nerd nature.

Call this one a fail on just about every level. There is ZERO chemistry between the two parents, the kids are continually annoying and stupid, and many of the so-called plot elements make no sense whatsoever.

It's obvious that no one involved with this mess ever watched and paid attention to classic children's comedies such as the Our Gang (Little Rascals) series, or even the Three Stooges.

Should be in film classes as an example of what NOT to do when making a "family comedy."

A movie that you watch with kids are very rare these days and such a movie even worth spending time, they are even lessor. Well this one surely is, entertaining, meaningful, good comedy, nice acting and full on entertainment. A perfect watch with kids and a family.

How dumb and annoying can movies get? I feel my brain cells dying every time I watch movies, especially on Netflix. Lots of screaming and ridiculous scenes, stuff that nobody would actually do... At least I hope not, in today's world we never know.

Everyone is diferente. So I won't judge other reviews. For me and my kid it was a great afternoon movie.

Just another subculture movie about how children are embarassed that they have parents

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.

Jennifer Garner is a very underused actress, Jennifer Garner is an incredibly underused family comedy actress! She is perfect for this role as a Mum who is no longer considered cool by her elder children and has turned from a daredevil twentysomething into an overprotective parent and I suddenly realising this. Edgar Ramirez is her husband who gets to be the good cop and fun Dad, which understandably is pissing Garner's Allison off.

After an incident at school, a plot device, sorry guidance counsellor, mentions the idea of a Yes Day - a day when the parents have to say yes to the children, within a legal and non-life-threatening reason. Allison wants to be the fun Mum, so is talked into and carnage ensues.

Actually, this is a good fun family films, Garner is immensely likeable and engaging lead. The kids aren't too annoying. Jenna Ortega, who voices one of the characters in Netflix's Jurassic Park - Camp Cretaceous, is maybe a bit old for the 14-year-old role but is showing signs of being a future lead.

Expect lots of parents being children and children trying to get one over on parents, there's also plenty of silliness for the kids (and big kids) and laughs as well as a good moral compass and code.

This movie is not the greatest; in actual fact, it's a bit silly really. There are parts which are supposed to be funny, however most of the time I was not laughing. A lot of this movie just seemed immature, and a bit dumb/stupid. I have definitely watched some very excellent family movies in my life that are hilarious, and unfortunately this falls below that standard.
