VOD: Yes Day (dir: Miguel Arteta, 2021)

"I get by on my charm."

Yes Day is a light-as-a-feather, old-fashioned and very basic family movie, in which strict parents (for the best of intentions) surrender control to their three children for a day, with predictably 'hilarious' results. It is held together by the irrepressible charm of Jennifer Garner as the mother who rediscovers fun, and the film is designed to be as gentle and inoffensive as possible at every step.  Young children will love the foam-filled finale but possibly grow bored by the overlong paintball-style mid-sequence.  Yes Day is very innocuous one-note concept which will appeal to very young viewers only.
