When their father passes away, four grown, world-weary siblings return to their childhood home and are requested -- with an admonition -- to stay there together for a week, along with their free-speaking mother and a collection of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. As the brothers and sisters re-examine their shared history and the status of each tattered relationship among those who know and love them best, they reconnect in hysterically funny and emotionally significant ways.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Lidia Draper

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

As you all know I share ratings with following sequence: rating = number of stars, 6=1(poor), 7=2(average), 8=3(good), 9=4(very good), and 10=5(excellent). Now I will tell you why I have been rated this as poor.The movie portrays a story where a person temporarily gets into relationship only to forgive a member in his past that got into relationship with somebody else. Further the old couple would again get into relationship after everything clears. Ideally this makes the story weak. Only psychiatrists would know if it would work. Ideally the past companion is to be forgiven without making any blundered choices. Thus I rate the movie as poor.

Complete garbage. Tina Fey is a liberal from hell. This movie is utter crap. No wonder no one ever heard of it.

'This Is Where I Leave You' is the story of four siblings (and their respective spouses and partners) and their mother, who come together for one week after the death of their father.1. To start, the movie is overly crowded with subplots; some fit in well while others are simply unnecessary. The main story and character that we follow is Jason Bateman (Judd), who's wife cheats on him with his boss and the way he comes to terms and deals with the fact that she pops up pregnant halfway through the film even after divorce papers have been filed.Bateman has a certain charm that you can't resist and there's no doubt why the audience would gravitate toward him. He also has the more emotional connection in regards to the mourning of his father.2. Corey Stoll, Tina Fey & Adam Driver complete the rest of the sibling cast with the latter being the next interesting (yet quirky) character apart from Bateman. Adam Driver (Phillip) plays the youngest sibling and screw-up of the family dating an older woman. As cliché as it sounds, there is still an entertaining and funny vibe just waiting to see how this inevitable ticking time-bomb will explode.3. The other characters are basically expendable since the plot- lines could intertwine and no one would care. Tina Fey (Wendy) is interesting at first with her funny nagging, but the movie ultimately falls apart in the third act. At the point your mom (Jane Fonda) comes out as being a closeted lesbian by making out with the old lady neighbor, that's where you turn off the TV or walk out of the theater. This film serves better as a one-time-watch and that's it. There's nothing memorable or that emotionally gripping nor funny to purchase on DVD or Blu-Ray. Rent it! Plain and simple.

The film starts with Judd Altman (Jason Bateman), a New York City radio producer who walks in on his wife Quinn (Abigail Spencer) and his boss (Dax Shepard) while trying to surprise her on her birthday. His marriage and job destroyed, things only get worse when his sister, Wendy (Tina Fey), calls with the news that their father has died.Afterwards for a brief few pause, we see where Wendy says that their mother, Hillary (Jane Fonda), wants the two of them, along with their brothers Paul (Corey Stoll) and Phillip (Adam Driver) to sit shiva for the next week. As it does turn out to be a setup, but it's just one of the movie's contrivances, a way to put these warring siblings in the same room and prevent them from leaving. The film does wander among mostly dramatic themes with come comedy coming from the chemistry between the characters.
