Sam, an economically embarrassed young man, reluctantly took his girlfriend to the funeral after knowing the death of his father as a record producer. A mysterious will leads to an unexpected sister, and his father asks Sam to give her $150,000. Unable to believe it and face it, Sam, who concealed his identity, began to use all kinds of prying and talking to understand this strange half-sister, and coveted the 150,000, and found that his girlfriend walked away in anger. The troubled Sam is left to engage in tangled emotional struggles. Through constant communication and mutual understanding, I became more and more in love with the dancing girl sister, and even more fiercely fighting with the naughty nephew. When his sister was about to confess to her, Sam talked about the shocking secrets, but was beaten up and fled by her sister.

The film is the first film directed by Alex Kuzman, the screenwriter of "Mission Impossible 3", "Star Trek" and "Transformers". The handsome guy Chris Pine and the two beautiful women Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde joined, and the director's semi-autobiographical plot, despite the limited investment in the film, the stars in the film are also considered bright. The father still has a family outside, and it didn't become clear to the world until he entered the soil. This is indeed an unbearable bolt from the blue for the children. Moreover, the son who received his father's love never liked his father, but the abandoned daughter deeply missed the short time of his father's love. In any case, they are family members passed down in the same line. The tepid storyline was brought to a climax by the last sibling’s childhood video. Blood is always thicker than water, regardless of the corners of the world or the vast sea of ​​people. There is always a trace of ties that keeps everyone in love.

When we often hear anecdotes about supernumerary families, we may only frown and smile slightly, but we never thought about how the children in it would feel. The film gave us a chance to see it in person. Although there are not many surprises, everything seems to be expected, even a bit too soap opera. If we have a deeper insight, maybe we can also inspire so little touch. If we can remember the six sentences of life that are too long-winded, it will feel better. Of course, don't watch this film with the mood of "Transformers". This time I'm talking about emotions, not the V5 metamorphosis.
