Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore collaborated again ten years after "Fifty First Loves", telling the cozy comedy story of two single-parent families forming a new big family.
In fact, I didn't have much expectation at the beginning, because I knew that it was such a simple story, but I was healed in this wonderful process of watching the movie. Isn't this what happiness looks like?
Having never paid attention to Africa, I am deeply impressed by the scenery of this beautiful prairie and all kinds of cute and mischievous wild animals. The director is really powerful. At the right time, he interspersed with African music and dance, showing the warm and hospitable folk customs of the African people. It will not be as abrupt as watching an Indian movie.
The combination of single father + 3 daughters and single mother + 2 sons makes it easier for them to get closer to each other.
Dad treats his daughter as a son. He is not careful enough to see that the eldest daughter wants to fall in love, and he already has a favorite boy. He also dresses up the eldest daughter as a tomboy all day long. Later, the heroine helped the eldest daughter to reshape, the eldest daughter and the boy fell in love smoothly, the eldest daughter recognized the heroine's new mother status.
The second daughter always feels that the undead of her mother is still by her side, and she will reserve a seat for her mother when she eats, and she will also reserve a seat for her when she sleeps. The female protagonist understands the second daughter’s psychological needs, respects and understands her, and will give the mother’s soul a serving when serving the buffet. This makes the second daughter and the male protagonist very touched.
The younger daughter is more cheerful and takes the initiative to get closer to the heroine.
The son is naturally mischievous and adventurous. The heroine is always afraid of the child being hurt. This is not allowed to disagree with that. Because of the different genders, the heroine can't understand the true thoughts of the sons. The appearance of the hero supplements this very well. Loopholes. He knows how to help the elder son choose the right pornographic magazines, how to help the younger son become a good baseball player, and what kind of life boys need.
Although they each experienced a very difficult stage in their lives, their encounter was so beautiful. They have become better selves and single-parent lives have not overthrown them. They are better fathers, better mothers, and then have a better life together.
Don't let the immediate difficulties overwhelm yourself. We don't know when happiness will appear, but we can keep on living. Maybe happiness will come suddenly.
