Featured reviews
It's a very good movie: story, atmosphere, characters, lines, actors of course.
As I'm italian, I can't tell why. But you can read what wrote who liked it, and trust them.
Or trust who didn't. But remember that we choose to like or unlike, so it's too easy (and childish) write things like "the worst", "two hours I'll never get back" or other stupid unoriginal but thinking to be original stuff.
We have to dive into movies. They are an escape from serie, like healthy food. If you prefer fast or sugar food, you're welcome. But save your time from poisoning our water. We are swimming.
One reviewer said it was Manhattan and a Jewish family, that covered it. My family is not from Manhattan nor is it Jewish and I saw us in this movie. It's a mirror of families everywhere and every color in every place. We all have "that" father/grandfather, "that" mother/stepmother, "that" sibling. Or cousin or uncle or or or. We all know that family and have lived with someone like them. It was nice to see that We are NOT alone!!
Boring, not sense no story just c*ap not interesting stupid stupid story painfully to watch, I have feelings that this good actor wanna make movie..like they desperate for earning money and promote yourself...absolute wasted potential of them!
This film tells the story of an artist father and his three estranged children, who are reunited under imperfect circumstances.
"The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)" it's unexpectedly good film. The characters stand out and make you care about them. The father is pervasively an unsympathetic man, and it is easy to see why he does not get along with his children. The three children are all interesting, and have baggage of their own. It is a captivating drama, and it is even more refreshing to see both Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller together in a good drama.

This film shows how Actor, Adam Sandler can play a dramatic role well (also/more so 'Uncut Gems'), Ben Stiller too, performs great through this film.
This film touches upon the conflicts of many families, with siblings jealousy over 'the golden child', parents trying to be better then their own parent/s, and a fathers children trying to defend/ lie to themselves about his bad parenting behind his 'good' work that he put more effort into as they grew up.
The film has a phew jokes to lighten the mood throughout the film and as any Sandler film would, and as said already, is quite realistic especially through the 'hospital scenes'.
I would definitely recommend anyone to watch this film as it was well written, well directed and well performed.
Did you know
- TriviaAt the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller stated in a press conference that playing brothers in this movie was one of the best experiences they've ever had in their careers, as it allowed them to grow closer as friends than they ever have in the past.
- GoofsWhile Danny is on the phone with Eliza (who is at Bard College), he states, "I might go stay at Jean's in Rochester for a while. I'll be closer to you...". The distance between Rochester and Bard College is actually significantly greater than New York City to Bard.
