Four Kids and It is a 2020 movie based on the 2012 novel of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. The movie follows the adventures of four siblings - Ros (Teddie-Rose Malleson-Allen), Smash (Ashley Aufderheide), Robbie (Billy Jenkins), and Maudie (Ellie-Mae Siame) - who are spending their summer holidays in Cornwall with their mother's new boyfriend, David (Matthew Goode), and his daughter, Alice (Paula Patton).
While exploring the beach one day, the four siblings discover a magical creature called a Psammead (voiced by Michael Caine), also known as "It". The Psammead is a sand fairy from a book they have read, which grants wishes to children. However, there is a catch - each wish lasts only until sunset, and they can only have one wish per day.
As the children enjoy the magical powers of the Psammead, they realize that they need to be careful with their wishes. They also discover that the family they are staying with is not as picture-perfect as it seems, and they end up wishing for things that they think will make their lives better.
With each wish, things start to spiral out of control, and the children must find a way to fix their mistakes before the magic runs out.
Throughout the movie, there are various conflicts and misunderstandings between the siblings, as well as between the blended families. David's daughter Alice is struggling with her parents' divorce, and doesn't like the idea of sharing her father with the four siblings. The mother, Natasha (Pippa Haywood), is struggling with her own personal issues and has a strained relationship with her children.
Despite the challenges, the children come together to solve their problems and learn important lessons about family, friendship, and the consequences of their actions. Along the way, they also learn some important life lessons, including the value of being honest, owning up to mistakes, and working together.
Overall, Four Kids and It is a charming family-friendly movie that is sure to appeal to both children and adults. With its magical storyline, lovable characters, and important messages about family and friendship, it is a must-see film for anyone looking for a heartwarming and fun-filled adventure.
