Brendan Fraser & Co-Stars Share Why 'Rental Family' Is So Meaningful

There's been a moment for each of you where you realized one of your projects had a greater meaning to people. Gosh, since that was my line, I guess I'll go first. Completely mercenary here, but I'd say it's rental family. I think this is a guy who finds that he had all these doubts and he really is enough and always was all along. And the journey that he takes means that he needs to go through several incarnations in roles he plays as an actor in the lives of other people but the make-believe performative aspect of that melts away when the connections that he's making are are are real um this is a movie that's been getting a response from it from everyone who sees it yeah that is varied it's a little bit different but they all feel like they have connected somehow in a meaningful way just in the same way that the clients in the world of this film connect with the providers i think for me i'm also going to say rental family because very personal like reasons because i first read the script when i had just lost my dad so it was so impactful reading it just it gave me so much hope in a really dark time and having finished the project and talking to people who have seen it I've had like really tender conversations with people who say that it probably resonates so like differently for people who have lost people close to them you know and that meant so much to me because that's what I felt you know it gave me hope when I first felt that way so hearing that it's doing the same for people who see it means a lot to me yeah and for me i guess um i don't really think about you know if i'm helping people when i act but um i guess you know seeing the end product you know like this one you know it resonated people you know across the board and just amazing how it can affect you know people and so i guess the rental family for me
