Yes Day

It's a kids movie, family one. Best thing about this movie was at the end, but not movie itself, but my GF started crying at concert scene. Great success.

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.

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.

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.
