Why Netflix's The Willoughbys are the perfect quarantine companions
Nothing goes as planned and things get complicated as the foursome grows confused about who really has their best interest at heart. As the rest of the story unravels, the message of the film really becomes clear with a little help from the film's narrator , love is the most important thing in a family, not obligation.and had Rob Lodermeier on-board as co-director for this one, shared with EW insights into the film's unique story and why its message is more important now than ever.
When we made the movie we weren't thinking of a pandemic. I wanted to talk about family from the optics of love versus obligation. I think now, more than ever, love matters. Family is who shows up on your best day and your worst day, regardless of genes or a name. I believe all of us deserve love no matter what. It doesn’t matter if it comes from a relative, a neighbor, a friend, a nurse, or a stranger. I love my mailman.
Even though you didn't have the pandemic in mind, why is this the perfect film to watch while quarantined? I'm sure a few families are ready to escape each other. I think a funny movie that spit valves some of the darker frustrations of being stuck in a box with a bunch of people who share your genes might be a good now. There's something therapeutic about watching a bit of dysfunction to take the sting off of daily frustrations — and it helps that there's a happy ending. I'm ready for a happy ending. To hop in my rainbow dirigible and fly it as far away as I can from my apartment.
