Here is the first trailer for Nicole Holofcener’s family dramedy “Please Give,” that debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to lukewarm reviews.
The film stars Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Amanda Peet and Rebecca Hall and follows the story of a family waiting out on a cranky elderly neighbor, so they expand their apartment into a dream home. Things become complicated however when they become friends with the neighbor and her family.
It’s an interesting cast and the trailer does show lightweight promise. Of the film, Holofcener explained to Variety that she “didn’t really attempt to write about a topic or issue. It seemed like a good opportunity to write about the stuff that consumes me — death and living your life in a meaningful way when you know you’re going to croak in that chair you just bought.”
“Please Give” will see a limited release on April 30th through Sony Pictures Classic.
