"Instructions Not Included" is one of my favorite movies ever. It's incredibly impactful and definitely one of the most watched films out there. You can't help but cry, but it’s not your typical sad story. Unlike many dramas that just make you feel compassion without evoking real tears, this movie takes you through a range of scenarios—mixing comedy, happy moments, struggles, and relatable life experiences, all sprinkled with Mexican slang and humor. By the end, it hits you with some of the saddest moments that anyone can relate to, offering a powerful lesson whether you’re a parent or a child. It makes you reflect on your own experiences with family, no matter your background. Sure, the CGI isn't the best, but that doesn’t matter at all for such a touching story. For me, this is the best movie you can watch, and the acting is fantastic! I have no regrets.
