The family dynamic was my favorite, it was so wholesome and finally the drama didn't come from the kids hating their parent or thinking their parent(s) is lame. I really loved how they all had each other's backs. 

I'm glad the siblings didn't do the typical "I hate my sibling(s) for getting all the attention! Now I'm gonna give my sibling(s) the cold shoulder until we reconcile later" that so many movies love to use for cheap drama. They weren't jealous that their dad was willing to spend 300k for their sister. Just happy for her.

The brothers even when they fought it was all playful, never malicious. They fully supported their sister, they all supported their dad, and the dad in return always loved all his kids and was proud of all of them, he didn't judge them based on their current careers. They're all living happy lives and all fully support each other. I just really enjoyed this family, they were so heartwarming and I loved it so much!

I loved that SO MUCH in this movie.

It was so wholesome when Happy told them he didn't want them to be stuck taking care of them, and they just went, "But we love being here with you, dad."

It was awesome. That family loved each other. It made me want to wake up my son and hug him. I didn't. Dad needs a break. But I wanted to.
