Ben Stiller Stars in Holiday Film Nutcrackers

The new Hulu holiday comedy 'Nutcrackers', directed by David Gordon Green and starring Ben Stiller, follows the story of Mike, a self-absorbed architect who becomes the guardian of his four rambunctious nephews after their parents' death. While the film has elements of heartfelt sentiment and family bonding, critics note that it struggles with character development, leading to a disjointed experience. Stiller praised the project's organic feel, highlighting the authenticity gained from filming at the Janson family's actual farmhouse. Despite its somewhat predictable plot, the film aims to deliver a feel-good message amidst a tense political climate. The director's approach and the real-life chemistry between the actors provide some redeeming qualities, making it a light-hearted, albeit formulaic, addition to the holiday film lineup. 'Nutcrackers' is now streaming on Hulu.
