‘Nutcrackers’ Review: Ben Stiller & Four Young Brothers Who Have Never Acted Before Make For A Holiday Family Comedy With Laughs And Heart – Toronto Film Festival
A review of 'Nutcrackers', a new family comedy in which Ben Stiller inherits 4 orphaned boys on a rural farm after his sister dies
Uncle Mike is now in charge and drives his yellow porsche out to this mud-filled farm to figure out what to do with the kids who are played by Homer (13), Ulysses (10), Atlas and Arlo (8) Janson, naturals every single one of these long haired rambunctuous boys are. Predictably this city man is a fish out of water on this farm, stepping in chicken shit literally, walking into a disastrous kitchen with dirty dishes piled everywhere, opening a toilet lid to discover a King Cobra staring at him – well you get the picture. Green, shooting on 35 MM and coming off several horror franchises like Halloween and The Exorcist reboot saw something in the simplicity of this family, their farm, and their small town charm that got him to dive into a new genre, and let’s hope he brings it back to boxoffice success.
