I didn’t enjoy the opening movie of the 2018 Film Festival. Although I accept that this is a way of life for many, it certainly wasn’t my idea of entertainment. The kids are cute and their acting was impressive. At the beginning of the film they were kind of cute, but they soon became obnoxious. But they can’t be blamed once you see their mostly irresponsible mothers.

The story follows three kids and their mothers who live at a motel near The Magic Kingdom in Florida. They run free most of their days and get up to a lot of “no good”, as does one parent in particular. William Dafoe plays the motel manager and, for me, he was pretty much the saving grace in the film – his character really seemed to care about his “guests”.
