ComedyDrama120 min
Pete and Ellie decide to adopt, imagining one child and a manageable adjustment. Instead, they say yes to three siblings who need to stay together, and their house is suddenly full of homework battles, bedtime chaos, and a teenager who does not trust that any placement will last. As Pete and Ellie, Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne play a couple trying to turn good intentions into a working family while parenting classes, social workers, and visits with relatives keep raising the stakes. Every small win is followed by a setback, and the couple has to learn whether love, patience, and persistence are enough to hold everyone together.
