Thanksgiving Weekend: RENTAL FAMILY at Cinemark Stoneridge!

Join us for an under-the-radar gem and what might possibly be the most charming film we see all year, RENTAL FAMILY! Brendan Fraser stars in this comedy-drama about an American actor working in a Tokyo "rental family" agency who rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the beauty of human connection. And since the film is set in Japan, we’ll pair it with a group favorite Japanese restaurant with something for everyone, TORA! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:

DESCRIPTION: An American actor in Tokyo struggling to find purpose lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese "rental family" agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. He rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the beauty of human connection. The film is directed by Hikari and stars Brendan Fraser, Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto, Shannon Mahina Gorman and Akira Emoto.

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: Rental Family premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Toronto Film Festival! The film is earning a stellar 94% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “lovely, feel-good film” and an “endearing crowd-pleaser!” Screen Rant calls it a “heartwarming film that asks thoughtful questions” and promises “you won’t be disappointed!”
