The result is an offbeat take on what it really means to belong.

Its there that she eventually learns a thing or two about what family really means.

Credit certainly has to go to Schilling who succeeds in bringing the perfect level of exasperation to Kate.

As such, her journey from selfish loner to reluctant mentor is filled with hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt moments.

Despite all this, she somehow still gets stuck watching her niece, Maddy, for a week.

So,their eventual bond is borne of a borderline unending series of socially disastrous moments.

But buried under all the awkwardness and bad decisions is something surprisingly genuine.

Percy Jackson & the wildly unpopular family movies.

Perhaps the best thing about the film is that it thrives on its imperfections.

So, theres really no emotionally climatic moment where everything suddenly falls into place.

However,the pair forge their own path, defining what their connection should look like.

It equally shows that even the mostunlikely relationshipscan make a lasting impact.

Shes simply bad with people.

Instead,Familyleans into Kates flaws, not pretending she can become a new person overnight.

Thats as humanly realistic as it gets.
