Before you go see this, be prepared on what it is and what it is not. We are a family who lost a child to cancer, so when the movie started the way it did, I automatically wanted to walk out because I thought I was taking my family to see a "funny" movie. My daughter cried many times and kept saying "mommy, why didn't you tell me this was a sad movie?" There were also plot holes and scenes that didn't seem to have much to do with the film. For example, what was that scene in the retirement home with that sad cat? I wanted to know who the cat was and we never got to see. Why were we even shown that sad kitty to never have him shown again? I had assumed something good would happen to him. Also, every time the little boy said he could not see an "IF", my daughter cried because they were all so desperate and they were being rejected yet again. The acting was well done but I was confused on who the target demographic was. I heard lots of kids asking questions during the film so be prepared to talk about tough topics after the film is over. It was a good film, but it was quite sad. Just don't go into this movie hoping for a "Minions" type comedy. You have been warned.
