David Gordon Green's latest film blends humor and warmth in a story about family, loss, and connection, marking Stiller's first lead role in six years.

• 'Nutcrackers,' directed by David Gordon Green, is a holiday dramedy featuring Ben Stiller as a workaholic thrust into caring for his four orphaned nephews.
• The film, available exclusively on Hulu starting November 29, delivers a mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and a message about the importance of family.
