The film has too much excess, random storylines, not well done.

Warning: Spoilers
This film could've been much better and satisfied both a young audience and an older nostalgic audience.

The storyline involving the new brother 'simon' is so confusing, they could've had Marty, Edwin or Lizzie fill the role rather than bringing in a new weird sibling.

Wish they shot in the original home. I think a better storyline would've been if the two cousins were at home with their grandparents in the original home, we didn't need the two younger siblings.

I get its made for kids, but it was pretty poorly done and excessive. The storyline with the new brother simon as well as the robber following the parents was weird. They were doing too much with this.

Happy with the reunions

So delightful to see everyone grown up dissimilar, but still the same. So cool we got to see Sam again! It felt realistic for what could become of Casey and Derek as grown ups. I would have wanted them to end up together, but I guess this is second best.

I was happy to see Casey, Derek, George and Nora again, but I did miss seeing Lizzie, Edwin and Marti. Hopefully we will get to see them in future reunions. It was cool to see Simon as a grown up and the new kids as well. Casey and Derek still had the same chemistry as they did in the TV series. It was fun and light hearted unlike other modern movies. I enjoyed the movie and hope to see more in the future. A must see for anyone who enjoys a classic family movie.

Great movie for families
quinnmedici27 February 2023
A fresh take on a classic. Nostalgic for Life with Derek viewers, yet great as a new story for younger audiences. It was great to see Casey and Derek back on screen together again. The new kids were fun. The vibe was the same as the TV show it's based on, but it still felt relevant and fresh in the modern age. Characters had grown up and still felt true to themselves. It had many comedic moments that made me laugh and there were some awesome throwbacks and re-created scenes that surprised me in a good way. It feels like there's some story yet to tell of the blended family that captured our hearts.
