This kind of adoption-themed film is made into a comedy, and it is difficult to deeply express the various emotions and relationships within the adoptive family. From a comedy point of view, the baggage is not smooth enough and naturally not enough to make people laugh. In terms of plot, it's not deep enough. The subject of adoption should be very deep and complex, and it involves many important things in human nature, such as love, family, responsibility, and sense of belonging.
For a single parent, Lizzy's doubts about the world, about himself, and about adoptive parents should be well understood. Living in an uncertain environment since childhood, no one taught her how to find a relatively certain environment to pursue what. Her protection of her younger siblings is natural, that's what she is sure of. She didn't dare to hope, so she retreated, and it was less painful to be disappointed. The director told the story in the form of comedy. Naturally, the ending is also warm and beautiful. Whether it is a stepparent, a stepmother or an adoptive parent, what they should do is to truly love their children. These sensitive and lonely children can easily feel it, but they will show coldness and rebelliousness when they retreat.
There are very few films I know of about this subject, and as a child who grew up in a single-parent family for as long as I can remember, I was curious how the director would express our similar feelings, but this film is hard to touch I, whether it is a family with children or an instantfamliy that I watched when I was a child, is too warm and beautiful. The process of transformation happens to the child, but I think that in reality, the more important transformation happens to the step-parent, step-mother, adoptive-parent and adoptive-mother. They are children, and one is not obligated to love another child by nature.
