Aujourd'hui, c'est oui!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
