Trivia
At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller stated in a press conference that playing brothers in this movie was one of the best experiences they've ever had in their careers, as it allowed them to grow closer as friends than they ever have in the past.

Goofs
While Danny is on the phone with Eliza (who is at Bard College), he states, "I might go stay at Jean's in Rochester for a while. I'll be closer to you...". The distance between Rochester and Bard College is actually significantly greater than New York City to Bard.

Quotes
Danny: It was like walking barefoot through broken glass to get a milkshake. I loved the milkshake, but, you know, my feet were bleeding.

An unexpectedly good drama

This film tells the story of an artist father and his three estranged children, who are reunited under imperfect circumstances.

"The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)" it's unexpectedly good film. The characters stand out and make you care about them. The father is pervasively an unsympathetic man, and it is easy to see why he does not get along with his children. The three children are all interesting, and have baggage of their own. It is a captivating drama, and it is even more refreshing to see both Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller together in a good drama.
