"Werner Herzog steps away from his acting role and takes on directing here - a role he's been exploring for the past few years, since the 1960s. In 'Family Romance, LCC' we follow a curious plot that deals with a company that rents out humans for all their clients' needs. Need to substitute a family member for a business dinner or even find someone for a special moment? It can all be taken care of as long as you pay for it. The movie shows us a drama that comes with a whirlwind of emotions and discusses relationships of love, family and friendship. It's a peculiar production and worth watching if you want a story that strays from the usual."
