Based on a book by the same name, 'This Is Where I Leave You' is a pleasant surprise. Its a charming little film, with fine performances.
'This Is Where I Leave You' Synopsis: When their father passes away, four grown siblings 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.
'This Is Where I Leave You' is clichéd, but yet thoroughly watchable. The Screenplay is sweet, but extremely predictable, as well. Shawn Levy's Direction is well-done. Cinematography is inconsistent. Editing is ably done.
Performance-Wise: Jason Bateman dominates the show with a yet another brilliant performance. He's an actor who deserves more! Tina Fey defines maturity & restrain. She's pure. Adam Driver is emerging into an actor with tremendous potential. Corey Stoll, despite limited scope, steals the scenes he's in. Rose Byrne is cute. Jane Fonda, The Veteran, is impressive, as always. Kathryn Hahn is first-rate.
On the whole, 'This Is Where I Leave You' isn't perfection, but an easy watch nonetheless.
