There are actors I choose to ignore when I know they're headlining films and they are actors I gravitate to. Imagine my dilemma when four sets of actors of both description turn up in the same film!!
"The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)" was such a problem.
Starring the watchable Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman and the unwatchable Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, I took a chance on something I'd never heard of, film-wise... and I'm so glad I did! Perhaps it was because it's a Netflix film, that there seemed to be a freedom within the film? I don't know. But, I will say that apart from Emma Thompson's reduced-role-of-any-substance offering, I really like this portrayal of a dysfunctional Jewish family that doesn't know what to do with its broken bridges.
Really, really interesting film.
