But Lily does not feel the same, and as Steve and Ann get closer, Lily grows increasingly jealous and competitive.

Even if you judge this romantic dramedy by Hallmark standards, it falls short. Chosen Family is boring, repetitive, and uninteresting.

Graham’s only impressive feat is having made a movie in which not a single character resembles a functional human being.

Chosen Family, though, is so focused on trying to be funny that it's never sincere—or funny...

Rated: 1/4

Graham’s screenplay can’t decide if it wants to be wacky or sincere.
