- US & THEM
Here is one
“Family Comedy” that is currently in development and that definitely seems to
be one film that would be worth the wait. Us & Them features Billy Crystal in a lead role. While he’s no
guarantee of quality, he is at least funny. Now Marisa Tomei will be playing
his estranged daughter in the movie.

Us & Them finds
Crystal and Bette Midler as a couple who are suddenly forced to care for their
three grandkids (including Bailee Madison, who appears in next month’s horror Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark). Naturally,
the generation gap is like a yawning chasm for everyone involved and the older
folks simply don’t understand the youngsters’ modern ways. But they somehow
struggle through and even try to repair the fractured bond with their daughter
Alice (Tomei).
The film
script’s latest draft is written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel who, despite
having some solid credits to their name (including City Slickers, one of Crystal’s career highlights), last brought
the world Tooth Fairy. And Andy
Fickman, who experimented in multi-generational comedy with the unquestionably
risky You Again, is behind the
camera.
It all kicks off
shooting later this month in Atlanta.
