Mother-Daughter Filmmakers Continue Rom-Com Family Tradition In 'Home Again'

Hallie Meyers-Shyer's first feature as a writer and director is Home Again, which stars Reese Witherspoon as a freshly separated woman who opens her home to three young filmmakers who need a place to stay. Meyers-Shyer is only 29, but her film lineage goes back decades. Her parents, Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (now divorced), worked together for years on films including Private Benjamin (1980), Baby Boom (1987) and the updated versions of Father Of The Bride (1991) and The Parent Trap (1998).

Nancy Meyers later became known for domestic comedies like Something's Gotta Give (2003) and It's Complicated (2009). She most recently wrote and directed The Intern (2015), with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.

Meyers is a producer on her daughter's new film.
