Tully

Right now you can watch Tully in Australia on Stan — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 1,533 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Charlize Theron is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Available now on Stan — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Tully arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Tully does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Marlo, a mother of three, including a newborn, is gifted a night nanny by her brother. Hesitant at first, she quickly forms a bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging nanny named Tully. Charlize Theron and Mackenzie Davis lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. Tully earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Tully respects your intelligence. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Charlize Theron sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
