Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile drawing pictures of their dream children, October draws a football player with the number 74, which was Michael Oher's jersey number in the film The Blind Side (2009). The film is a recurring joke about her character, who tries to emulate Leigh Anne Tuohy.
- GoofsWhen Pete and Lizzy wreck a kitchen, the glass pane of the top right cupboard door alternates between being broken and intact many times.
- Quotes
Grandma Sandy: You get reminded what a sack of shit you are five times a day, after a while, you can't believe *anyone* could ever love you.
- Crazy creditsPhotos of real-life foster families are seen throughout the end credits, interspersed with footage of Isabela Moner performing the end-credits song "Stay With You."
- Alternate versionsFor the film's Australian release, the distributor chose to remove a single use of strong language in order to obtain a PG classification. This edited version of the film was later used for its DVD/Video release. An uncut M classification was available.

Featured review
Instant Family is an instant hit. It was so fun to watch. I found myself actually laughing out loud during the course of the movie. Usually, I don't like movies where everything ends up okay but I liked this one. As a child who's experienced adoption and family court, I felt like this movie, albeit a little dramatic, saw how it felt to be a part of the system. A great movie!
