bittersweet_ta rated 7/10
This was a nice movie. It’s soft, warm, and fuzzy and overall a very feel good story. The movie looked nice and pretty, the music was good and calm, and the actors all did a great job. This also had a good amount of humor which was nice. The scene with the grandpa was so sad and I was almost brought to tears, like my eyes started watering. It’s such a relatable premise about not being there for a loved one in need and it hit me hard. Some things didn’t hit well for me. For one, the boss having a rental family was definitely shocking, but I feel like there was no point where he realized he was wrong. It kinda felt like he started to be evil and pessimistic towards the end and suddenly he’s super nice and actually knows what the Rental Family company is all about. It’s a cute watch, I don’t regret watching it I had a good chill time. 7/10
