What is 'A Real Pain' about?
"A Real Pain," which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and released in theaters on Nov. 1, centers its story on two cousins -- David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Culkin) -- who couldn't be more different. David is a neurotic and quiet family man while Benji is more free-spirited and outspoken.
The two reunite for a Jewish heritage tour in honor of their late grandmother in the hopes of seeing where she grew up in Poland. Along the way, the pair's built-up tension bubbles to the surface and, through confronting it head-on, they gain a deeper understanding of each other.
The film also stars Will Sharpe, Jennifer Grey, Kurt Egyiawan, Liza Sadovy, Daniel Oreskes and Ellora Torchia.
