This Is Where I Leave You



What I liked:

  • It has one of the best casts of the year: Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Adam Drive, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Kathryn Hahn, Connie Britton, Timothy Olyphant, Dax Shepard, Debra Monk, Abigail Spencer, and Ben Schwartz.
  • Cade Lappin is super cute.
  • Everyone had great chemistry on screen.
  • Their lives are a messy and real.

What I didn't like:
  • Almost all of the funny parts are in the trailer.
  • This would have been better as a mini series on HBO or Showtime.  There were too many awesome actors/characters and not enough time.
  • It's difficult for Driver to play a jerk and not get compared to his character on Girls.
  • My expectations were too high for this film based on this incredible cast.

Grade: B+
