Netflix subscribers don't have long left to watch a comedy film, which has been dubbed one of the best 'feel-good movies' out there by viewers.

Another month, another host of Netflix TV shows and films to say goodbye to. Last month saw 100 movies and TV shows leave the streaming platform, including one TV show that boasted a 97 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

And September started with a 'haunting' film directed by 'master of horror' Jordan Peele, leaving the platform, and now a 2018 comedy film is another one on the chopping block.

The film in question stars Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne as a couple who decide to start a family and plan to foster a child.

But when they met three siblings, Lizzie (Isabela Merced), Juan (Gustavo Escobar), and Lita (Julianna Gamiz), they decided to take on the responsibility of the trio.

However, Pete and Ellie are in for a wild ride, as fostering the siblings proves to be a lot harder than they initially anticipated.

And viewers loved Instant Family, as one person penned: "We absolutely love this movie! It is one of our favorite feel-good movies. It’s cute, funny, makes you cry a little and makes you feel great! Highly recommend!"

A second added: "A happy, heart-warming and emotional film! Highly recommend," while a third remarked: "A really well-made family movie is the best description I can give.

"The movie is based on a true story, and it feels so real. The acting is amazing and just really felt like the movie was a film an actual family going through this situation."

Instant Family, which has been viewed for a whopping 10.6 million hours on streaming, is to leave Netflix on Tuesday, September 16 - meaning fans have just hours to watch the comedy.

The comedy/drama sits at an impressive 82 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score to this day, with many industry critics lauding its praises.

The Observer's review stated: "Anders and his wife are parents to three adopted children, and there's a sense of verisimilitude and attention to detail regarding both the joys and the travails of foster care."

A review from the Telegraph read: "The film is boosted immeasurably by Byrne and Wahlberg, who make a snappily appealing comic pair and bounce off each other well in the film's many fraught parenting moments."

Meanwhile, The Times penned: "The ending is hardly revolutionary, but there are some satisfying twists along the way and a cast of characters whose fate you find yourself caring about."
