Yes Day

For a Netflix family comedy, it's a fine entertainment with a nice idea that had me smiling from start to finish. Jennifer Garner and Jenna Ortega are very nice to look at and the idea of parents having to answer everything to Yes is pretty original. The supporting characters are funny (the policeman, the gym teacher with croquet and the paramedic), the film flows well, some of the scenes are downright cool (the party at the house). I have a soft spot for comedies, I laughed more than I expected, so I'm happy to overrate. Together with Instant Family probably the most feel good family comedy in recent times. 7/10. (14/03/2021)

If you turn off your brain while watching Yes Day, you will still feel like you're watching a flat and formulaic film that tries to be cool while underutilizing a premise that could have definitely been made more out of. Alongside this, you'll find yourself thinking that life without children – though perhaps empty for some – has its advantages. Both Jennifer Garner and Édgar Ramírez are normally fine actors, but here they have nothing to work with. PS: Why did they have to cram an unnecessary scene with artificial birds into the film?!
