Need a respectable-looking mourner to fill out your funeral? Searching for a fake dad to impress the registration committee at your posh private school? Why not call Rental Family, a surrogate agency leasing stand-in actors for social settings? In this US–Japanese co-production from director Hikari, Brendan Fraser plays Philip, a lonely actor in Tokyo looking for a job. At first Philip is dubious about the gig, but soon the genial giant sees it as an opportunity to use his well-honed improv skills for good.
