5.7Plot summary
Allison and Carlos used to say YES to everything in life, also when they met and later got married. But then they moved to suburbia and had 3 kids and their lives became a long line of NO. Their oldest daughter, Katie, 14, gets NO from mom to going to a concert with friends. Carlos also says NO to employees at work at Icarus Technologies. Allison is trying to return to the labor market but gets no at job interviews. At Katie's school, Allison and Carlos are shown Katie's project on video. The video compares "Mommy Dearest" to Stalin and Mussolini. Later, the guidance counselor etc. gives advice on why he's so relaxed despite having 6 kids. He gives them a YES day where he and his wife, with a few ground rules, say YES to everything. Mom agrees to a 24 hour YES/fun day after seeing an over 15 year old photo of her skydiving. Will it be apocalyptic, as Allison first feared, or a wild and fun adventure for the five?

"You should say 'yes' to a Yes Day".
Rating the film higher than I did would be a disservice to all the other pictures I've reviewed and rated, but if you're a young family with kids, it's not the worst thing in the world to watch together as a unit. I see a similar sentiment expressed by others on this board, so I don't think I'm being too critical. There's a lot of buffoonery and silliness going on in the story, pretty much to be expected given the premise of the film, to allow the kids in the family an opportunity to have all their fun requests allowed under the guise of a 'yes day' where anything goes within reason. I thought the 'windows open car wash' a stretch even for the most permissive of parents but what the heck, it's only a movie. A feel good moment occurs in the final segment when Mom (Jennifer Garner) finds her daughter (Jenna Ortega) at an amusement park concert she wasn't allowed to attend with her friends unsupervised, and it makes for the picture's message of families staying together by playing together. At just under an hour and a half, this could be one of your 'yes day' activities.

forced family fun
Free spirit Allison (Jennifer Garner) marries soulmate Carlos Torres (Edgar Ramírez) and they have three kids. Somewhere along the way, she becomes an over-protective mom. Her kids are not happy with her controlling ways. The school counsellor suggests giving the kids a Yes Day, a day when Allison says yes to her kids' every wish... within reason.
It's not the worst premise in the world especially for a family film. Garner can do the hyper mommy type. She's also trying to tap into 13 Going on 30 but it's a bit more forced when it's 15 Going on 50. Now, most of this movie is random forced fun and that's not that much fun. It's definitely juvenile and I guess that's the point. The movie finally gets somewhere with the parents in jail. The last act is more compelling but that's not saying much. It's a safe evening for the family to watch together and that's worth something.
