Das Ehepaar Pete (Mark Wahlberg) und Ellie (Rose Byrne) beschließt, eine Familie zu gründen, und nimmt daher drei Pflegekinder von einer Adoptionsagentur bei sich auf. Doch damit haben sich mehr eingebrockt, als sie gedacht hätten, denn die drei Kinder, die rebellische 15-Jährige Lizzy (Isabela Moner), der verplante Juan (Gustavo Quiroz) und die kleine Lita (Julianna Gamiz), stellen sich als echte Teufelsbraten heraus und haben zunächst keinerlei Interesse daran, sich von ihren Pflegeeltern bändigen und erziehen zu lassen. Und auch Pete und Ellie müssen feststellen, dass das Elterndasein viel komplizierter ist, als sie es sich vorgestellt hätten. Nach und nach wachsen die Fünf jedoch zu einer Patchwork-Großfamilie zusammen... (Constantin Film AT)

Well, that was good. This low-key comedy with a not-so-great marketing campaign is finally the hit of the spring and Mark Wahlberg scores more points. A husband and wife decide to adopt a child, but end up adopting three rebels, including 15-year-old Isabel Moner, the quintessential sassy out-of-control teen. Laughter literally alternates with crying, and it's very pretty to watch. 80%.

It has its flaws, including an exceedingly sickly-sweet ending, but I don’t want to knock it for each and every mistake, because there aren't that many family comedies with a meaningful message. And who knows, maybe this movie will actually convince some hesitant married couples to adopt a child. (60%)

A lesser-known feel-good comedy, in which I'm glad to see Mark Wahlberg after a long time. The subject matter is simple and not that original, but it delivers a lot of funny scenes and it's a good laugh. What makes the movie above average compared to its competitors is that it doesn't fall into boring family drama and emotionally escalated scenes after the halfway point, but sticks to the humor and the plot. The ending is unexpectedly happy, but with a pretty decent emotional touch that moved even me. In short, a solid and slightly above average comedy with likable characters and lots of jokes.

Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne are a pair of actors I’m very happy to see in movies. And when they are cast as leads in a chill-out family comedy, I cannot be dissatisfied. A naturally flowing fun, an interesting premise that is well conveyed, no vulgarity. I see no reason to rate this with less than four stars.

A huge disappointment. Although I'm used to Mark Wahlberg starring in rather poor films lately, this was something I didn’t expect in the least. I don’t think I have ever been under such a powerful attack of various clichés, with nowhere to hide because everything was subsequently flooded by a tsunami of pathos. The comedy was weak, but what the authors succeeded in was sappy melodrama, hence my rating.
