A bit of mixed feelings about this movie. I expected it would be funnier. Now it felt more like a light hearted drama with some mild funny scenes. It was watchable though, I was just expecting better. Certainly with Toni Collette, an actress that I appreciate a lot since the excellent series United States of Tara. The acting wasn't bad and that from the entire cast, even the children. The story itself, about nurturing your kids in becoming something specific despite their genetics was just mildly interesting, nothing that could win me over as I don't see much truth in that. To a certain degree you will have results but certainly not always which would prove this scientific experiment wrong. It's not a bad movie but it's just not that special.
