INSTANT FAMILY movie night

We received the kit and movie for review from Paramount. All opinions are my own. I love watching movies with my kids. It always makes for a fun family night, especially when we have crafts or games to play before/after.

Thanks to the fun INSTANT FAMILY movie night kit we received, we were able to have a blast together doing things like making shirts, doing “grandma’s makeup” and more!

Our review of the movie

The movie follows Pete (Mark Wahlberg) and Ellie (Rose Byrne). After being unable to conceive, they have decided to try foster care adoption to start their family. Instead of a small child like they were planning, they met three siblings (2 sisters and a brother) that they decide to take in.

About INSTANT FAMILY

INSTANT FAMILY is a heartwarming film, inspired by the real events from the life of writer/director Sean Anders. It follows Pete (Mark Wahlberg) and Ellie (Rose Byrne) as they decide to start a family and stumble into the world of foster care adoption.

They hope to take in one small child but when they meet three siblings, including a rebellious 15-year-old girl (Isabela Moner), they find themselves speeding from zero to three kids overnight. Now, Pete and Ellie must hilariously try to learn the ropes of instant parenthood in the hopes of becoming a family.

INSTANT FAMILY also stars Octavia Spencer, Tig Notaro, and Margo Martindale.

INSTANT FAMILY movie night

We received an INSTANT FAMILY activity kit with items based upon moments from the film, including “Grandma’s make-up kit” (washable markers and a make-up bag), a t-shirt with fabric markers and fabric paint, a custom bag, balloons, a hairbrush and the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack of the movie.

We had so much fun together making shirts, doing each other’s “make-up” and watching the movie! You can put your own movie night together easily with some blank shirts, fabric paint, washable markers, balloons, and the movie which comes out today!
