Unless you're living under a cinematic rock, you know Instant Family debuted last week. Hailed as the "family feel-good" movie of the year, it is a dramedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Rose Bryne that highlights the journey of foster adoption—inspired by the Anders' actual adoption journey. My husband and I decided to take in the film with several others from our Tapestry (a foster/adoption ministry) group and my parents. I had read a couple of reviews ranging from "bring your tissues" to "this is terrible because the ethnic couples are not well represented." (I as a general rule don't read very many reviews before seeing any film. I like to form my own opinion.) This is more about how I felt about the film and less about the cinematic prowess of the production. Yes, there were several stereotypes dramatized for the film—it's a common practice. Here are some of the people we meet during the film:
