Probably the most accurate movie about foster parenting that I have ever seen. There was only one seen thing that didnt ring true. (The picnic where they meet potential kids to have in their homes; kids are placed individually and at the most inconvenient times. ) The writers must have had at least some involvement with the system to get it this right.

I'm surprised this movie made the top of the list but I absolutely loved it. I worked within the system and feel as though any positivity shined towards being a foster parent is a wonderful thing. And this movie does just that. Definitely funny and heartwarming. Not super "relistic" but I do not think that a 2-hour Max movie could ever cover the ins and outs of being a foster parent and the system excetera. I love the fact that they focused on fostering OLDER children and KEEPING siblings 2g!

Very funny, accurately realistic and touching movie. Also very much PG-13 - I would not at all call it a kids movie. The 80s sounding soundtrack was awful, but other than that, it was a very good movie. As a former foster parent who also adopted, all of that was very accurate, if not exaggerated a bit for humor.
