Ben Stiller stars in the trailer for Hulu’s holiday comedy Nutcrackers, from filmmaker David Gordon Green. Stiller plays Mike, a strait-laced workaholic who must care for his orphaned nephews over the holidays until they find foster parents.

Stiller’s four child co-stars — Homer Janson (13), Ulysses Janson (11), Arlo Janson (8), and Atlas Janson (8) — are real-life brothers who had never acted before; filmmaker Green is friends with their mother, Karey Williams, who was a classmate of his at film school, and wound up filming the pic at both her family farm and dance studio.  The film also stars Linda Cardellini, Edi Patterson, Tim Heidecker, and Toby Huss.

Nutcrackers premieres Nov. 29; check out the trailer – HERE.
