This Is Where I Leave You

When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide—driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves. 

One of the greatest things that has come out of Hollywood over the last couple of years is the rebirth of Jason Bateman in to regular roles and relevancy.  There are few actors that are funnier at delivering lines in the most perfect way.  Dry humor, sarcasm, dramatic physical reaction, disgust - he kills me across the board.  He was great in this.  Honestly, the whole cast was.  The only knock you can make on this is that it is as much a drama as a comedy (if not more so).  That being said, it still does an amazing job at portraying a family with all levels of dysfunction in an accurate, touching and funny way.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  There are plenty of laughs and even some tears but you are able to connect and root for all the different family members.
