The film is adapted from the novel of the same name, repackaging the story of the last century by modern society. Directed by two long-term co-directors, Scott McGee and David Siegel, British comedians Steve Cogan and Julianne Moore play middle-aged couples, and the tall handsome Swedish man Alexander Skars Gad and the post-90s Scottish beauty Joanna van der Ham, the protagonist Xiao Mengmei Meiqi starred by the won child star Anata Applow. The film entered the 2012 Tokyo International Film Festival competition, but did not win any awards. It ended with the Newport Beach Film Festival Honorable Mention by the child star Anata. With such a touching plot, after being sought after by many mainstream media, I do not know why it has not been favored by major awards. I look forward to the belated affirmation in the follow-up.
Although the film's story is too idealistic, it has also reversed people's traditional concept of stepdad and stepmother. However, the reality reflected in the film, whether it is the story structure of the 19th century or the family ethics of the 21st century, is a prominent topic that cannot be ignored by adults. After giving birth to a child, you need to assume your due obligations, whether you have a thousand reasons or 10,000 objective conditions, as long as your child has no reason to be abandoned. Seeing when Little Mitch was sleeping soundly with tears on her face on the unfamiliar and dirty bed, even if you are a hard-hearted, ruthless parent with a huge career, you don't need any rebuttal and excuses. In other words, the real one is better than the next generation. If stepmother and stepdad can do things, the real mom and dad don’t have to say anything else.
