Disney celebrated the home entertainment release of Searchlight Pictures’ critically acclaimed Rental Family<\/em> with an evening featuring curated food and drinks, music, and photo ops at the Budonoki restaurant in Los Angeles. The film is available now digitally and will be released on Blu-ray Disc Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

Set in modern-day Tokyo, director Hikari’s Rental Family<\/em> stars Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser as a has-been American actor searching for purpose and belonging in a society where he feels increasingly adrift. An unexpected acting call leads him to a \u201crental family\u201d agency, where he is hired to play stand-in roles for strangers seeking connection. As performance begins to blur with reality, the immersive role-playing awakens his humanity and compassion, drawing him deeply into his clients\u2019 lives and pushing him off-script whenever his empathetic heart takes over.<\/p>\n
