Plot Summary
When their father passes away, four grown siblings (Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Corey Stoll), 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 (Jane Fonda) 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.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Instead of smiles or tears, "This Is Where I Leave You" is most likely to inspire a Kickstarter campaign to reunite its main performers for a different project.
Rotten: This comedy about a death is a funeral for the audience. But, hey, here's your chance to sit shiva with an all-star cast.
Fresh: I can't think of a family I'd rather sit shiva with than the Altmans of "This Is Where I Leave You."
Fresh: "This Is Where I Leave You" is the year's first real crowd pleaser, a comedy-drama that presses all the right buttons but does so with intelligence and skill.
Customer Reviews
One Of The Worst Movies Of All Time
The funniest scene, which is supposed to be a really intense dramatic scene— Tim Olyphant(who is playing Brad Pitt with a brain injury) can’t remember why he is holding a wrench. And tosses the wrench angrily. Hysterical stuff. I recommend this movie if you love Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. It is that bad.
