"The son of a comedy giant, Reiner had long been one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood whose work included some of the most memorable movies of the 1980s and '90s, including This Is Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. Here's the latest: Reiner and his son once explored their troubled relationship in a semi-autobiographical film Nick Reiner, 32, the younger of Rob Reiner's two sons, spoke publicly of his struggles with addiction. By 18, he had cycled in and out of nine treatment facilities with bouts of homelessness and relapses in between."
"Rob Reiner said in a 2016 interview with The Associated Press that I maybe didn't handle it the best way. I listened to a lot of people who had a desk and a diploma. I didn't really think about my kid and what he needed. Nick and Rob Reiner would collaborate on a semi-autobiographical 2016 film, Being Charlie, that included elements of their relationship and experience. Rob Reiner directed the movie and Nick Reiner was a co-writer. We didn't go into it thinking this is going to be therapeutic or bring us closer, but it did come out that way, Rob Reiner told the AP. It forced us to understand ourselves better than we had. I told Nick while we were making it, I said, you know it doesn't matter, whatever happens to this thing, we won already. This has already been good.'"
