Spoiler Warning! The following contains major spoilers for Rental Family. If you’ve yet to watch the movie, you can check it out right now with a Hulu subscription.
After missing Rental Family in theaters, I made sure to not make the same mistake when the Brendan Fraser dramedy joined the list of new movies streaming in early 2026. The movie, which is nothing short of an incredible, emotional experience, had me in tears (both from laughter and heartbreak) as it explored an American actor taking on an unorthodox, yet fulfilling role: playing important figures in strangers’ lives. While I agree with critics’ thoughts on Hikari’s transformative movie, there’s one scene I wish was left on on the cutting room floor.
