Rather unoriginal, though the cast make it more likeable than it would otherwise be.
'Yes Day' is exactly what it says on the tin, you will not be shocked to find out what the plot is. It plays out in the most predictable way possible, even the hearty moments are a little too sickly at times. With that said, there are some minor decent bits.
Jennifer Garner (Allison) and Édgar Ramírez (Carlos) work well enough together, though Garner definitely stands out more. Jenna Ortega (Katie) does alright in her role, one that isn't too dissimilar to Isabela Merced's in 'Instant Family' - as is the whole film, in actual fact. 'Yes Man', ft. Jim Carrey, also holds slight similarities as you might expect. Both those films are far better, fwiw.
Not one I'll be revisiting, but I could see families in particular having a fine time with this. Each to their own, of course.
A fun okay movie to enjoy with the family..
I can see this as a nice family movie. Something for the whole family I suppose. But as a movie itself, it’s very poor. The characters are a bit unrealistic. The mother is supposed to be portrayed as this strict, dictator mother. But really, she isn’t anymore strict then the average, strict parent. The comedy in this movie is very...‘Nickelodeon teen sitcom-esk.’ It’s not very funny.
The kid characters are also very...eh.
I can see how it would be a nice movie to see with the family and all. But overall, I would not watch it again...
4/10
No No No
It might be fun with a family not with us
Ignore the cynics. This is a sweet family film you can watch with your pre-teens. It shows a family's love for each other and the resilience of the family bond. It's never going to win an Oscar, but every parent and child can relate to this film and that is an achievement. Besides it has Jennifer Gardner and she literally breaks the cute meter.
Watch it as a family and enjoy!
I really enjoyed it. Got quite a few laughs out of it. This is the perfect movie to watch as a family :relaxed:
Why the girl part of the cast is a compilation of the most retarded women I've ever seen? I thank the male part because, literally try to save the film, Garner, Ortega and Carganilla bring the film down so much, not recomended
I enjoyed this movie way more than I thought I would. It’s a great family movie.
Another Netlix original movie with a generic formula and a generic family. The film ends up being saved by the good performances and Jeniffer Garner's charisma that motivates the viewer to finish the film. Certainly a title that deserves to be seen only once.
I know I’m not the movies main demographic but it was cute
I'm saying this as an adult: this movie should be classified as Horror/Sci Fi..
I was terrified seeing this movie, seeing 100k damage to car and home, seeing a kid say "You're right" to parent.. almost peed my pants here.
A fun, enjoyable movie.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

THE GOOD:
The positive tone and endless fun and joy put a smile on your face, which is much needed in these times.
The party scene in act three looks like the best party ever.
THE BAD:
I've been watching Alias recently. Seeing the young Jennifer Garner portray a young double agent so naturally on that show makes me cringe at the over-acting she occasionally falls into here.
Arturo Castro is one of the most wooden actors I've ever seen. It’s exceptionally bad whenever he’s trying to be funny.
The kids are unusually annoying and in-the-face, Julian Lerner especially.
It does feel like a third of this movie consists of montages all delivering the same message over and over. That feels like a lazy way to add to the runtime of the film.
Plot-wise this is another version of a typical family comedy, and the script doesn't serve anything new to make this film stand out. The script falls into childish territory several times, making it sometimes difficult to take seriously. Add to it the generic characters and predictable conclusion and you have a forgettable comedy.
The humour is the same old once again. Been there, laughed to that.
In the end, this film fails to reach a deeper emotional level and never explores parent-child relationships from a wider perspective.
THE UGLY:
Loads of people singing out of tune at the top of their lungs.
THE VERDICT:
A good-hearted family comedy with occasionally childish humour and an extremely worn-out script is perfectly watchable but doesn’t leave any lasting impressions.
39% = :heavy_minus_sign: = UGLY
This is a sequel from Little Fires Everywhere. The rebel daughter of Reese Whiterspoon convinces the daughter of the cop of the Undoing into an elaborate plan so that they can go alone to a music festival. You can also say this is a prequel to Babysitters 2.
Botton line: a nice family movie that you should not watch with your kids, otherwise you will end up opening the car window in the car wash

Netflix have a habit of saying 'yes' to every movie project that comes their way. Note to the execs: It's okay to say 'no,' especially to something as generic as this movie.
