Review of Rental Family

A surprisingly enjoyable Japanese-American comedy about a big goofy American actor who finds himself working with an agency that supply actors into personal and domestic situations. Of course he becomes emotionally engaged with the people to whom his efforts are directed (not the "clients" as such because they are the ones who have hired him to deceive someone else) - an old and dementing man who was once a notable actor, and a young girl who needs a second parent to get into a private school.

Watched in the cinema on the Brittany Ferry ship to Santander!
