Sarah Michelle Gellar has spoken. The star of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scooby Doo is making a strong statement in favor of a close friend’s new film, calling it “the best movie of the year.” That’s a glowing endorsement from the actress, who’s neither an actress nor a producer on the film.
At this week’s premiere of Rental Family, Gellar was photographed on the red carpet with good friend—and the film’s star—Brendan Fraser. The two share one of the more enduring Hollywood friendships and regularly support one another at red carpet events. Gellar, looking stunning in all black (with a hint of white), beamed as she and Fraser paused for photographs together.
Gellar followed up her appearance at the Rental Family premiere with a glowing social media post containing pictures from the night and a doting caption endorsing the film. She wrote:
“@rentalfamilyfilm is the BEST movie of the year (and not just because Brendan is incredible in it) I absolutely loved this film. Congrats to @searchlightpics and @thehikarism for making this film that I implore everyone to see. Everyone in this cast is amazing and now I need to go to Tokyo stat. Also can all movies pls have a sake bar?!?”

“I absolutely Love this I just love this friendship it’s just beautiful!! He’s a fantastic actor one of my favorites, I definitely want to see this movie I just love his movies, you both look fabulous,” shared one fan on the actress’ post.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Brendan Fraser share a long friendship, often being photographed on double dates with their respective partners, actor Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jeanne Moore. The two starred opposite one another in the 2007 action film The Air I Breathe and are part of the voice cast for the upcoming adult animated series Breaking Bear on Tubi.
