forced family fun

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.
