Another Members' Choice this Sunday with Rental Family. The 'dicey premise' is an out-of-work American actor, Phillip (Brendan Fraser), living in Japan, is offered a job: being hired out to pretend to be a friend or a family member - his first role is to be a mourner at a funeral. Why is he doing this? Because in Japan this actually happens! The comedy is very real, but so is the pathos - why would anybody hire someone to pretend to be their groom at a wedding..?
“This is gentle, crowd-pleasing drama comedy powered by Fraser’s heroic comeback. It won’t break your heart — but it might quietly mend a small piece of it.” - Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
