Instant Family (2018)

Not the kind of movie I usually go out of my way to see, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. You know basically what your getting going in, but this comedy (with dramatic bits) about the trails and rewards of the foster program hits the right notes. Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne are good, and that Isabela Moner has a future. Also Julie Hagerty (the female leads from the Airport! movies) is in this, I think the last thing I saw her in was What About Bob? nearly 30 years ago. Octavia Spencer and Tig Notaro's characters could be spun off as the tie in regulars on an anthology series about the foster care program, kind of like The Love Boat, only with social value. Inspired by a true story. ***
