The holidays come home to Ben Stiller in a pretty unexpected way in “Nutcrackers,” which makes its streaming debut on Hulu on Friday, Nov. 29. Stiller plays a bachelor uncle living his best life, until his holidays are derailed by his four nephews, who need a parental figure in their lives after the tragic death of their parents. Will he learn how to be a true uncle to the boys, or will he fall flat on his face — or both? You can stream the movie with a 30-day free trial of Hulu.

About ‘Nutcrackers’

“Nutcrackers” stars Stiller as Mike, a bachelor who’s just about to seal the deal on one of his greatest work triumphs. Everything is going according to plan, until he receives the call that will change his life: one of his family members has died in a car accident, leaving their four boys orphaned and no one to take care of them.

Mike drops his big city life to head back to the Ohio sticks, where the troublemaking boys immediately start causing chaos. As the holidays approach, he discovers the big hearts behind the boys’ mischief. This forces him to decide between his career and being the uncle his nephews need him to be.
