jasontheterrible I gave this a second try because there are so many good actors, but barely got through half of it. This is part of the Hollywood campaign to normalize vile behavior and debase traditional people. I love a good debasement if its funny but this was all vile and no comedy. Since I could not imagine any real family saying these things or feeling these sentiments, I had to believe it was someone jumping on the drain train just trying to put the most offensive and repulsive lines and stories in they could think of. Can anyone imagine anyone of these stars letting a kid poop anywhere he wants in his mobile porta potty no matter the visitor? These are really vomit worthy jokes and people I want nothing to do with. Don't worry, downloaded it for free, so no one profited from my mistake.

Ugesh Prasad this is my first comment on IMDb.. I've seen tons of movie from IMDb suggestions but never tried for writing up my views on anything.. this movie made my day really.. i was in little stress and need some relaxation from outside world.. and i found this movie.. it really healed me so much.. iam into this family and after watching the whole movie, i felt like iam also leaving this family by saying goodbyes.. they were like real siblings all the time.. it wasn't a movie, its kind of reality and had great sense of humor.. director is really brilliant.. we can see so many movies like this but this movie is really different from other movies... i guarantee you that you will b coming out from this movie with lot of emotions and with smiles <3 i really liked Jason bateman acting especially and her sister in this movie.. they had a great bond :)

hasbroucklogan Sometimes home is the place you need to be. For the Altman family, coming home to mourn the death of their father was the start of healing for a family that didn't know it was broken. This Is Where I Leave You sets its bar high when it comes to best motion picture. "For the next seven days, you are all grounded!" Hillary Altman (Jane Fonda) addresses her kids upon their first official day of mourning for their father. Explaining their father's dying wish to have them all under the same roof, sitting shiva (a Jewish mourning period which lasts for 7 days and consists of family members receiving visitors while sitting low to the ground), there is no disobeying Mama Altman. A quick- witted family in which most members have no trouble baring all, you quickly see the siblings settle back into a comfortable camaraderie with each other, all except Paul who has some slight resentment about being the only one left to run the family business. You also see the issues each one is facing. The character of the storyline follows the most, Judd Altman (Jason Bateman) discovers his wife, Quinn Altman (Abigail Spencer) has been having a year long affair with his boss (Dax Shepard.) Not wanting to discuss the situation with his family, he finds that older sister Wendy (Tina Fey) keeps pushing him to spill the beans. Once news of the betrayal comes out, it seems as if everyone reveals their problems as well: eldest brother Paul's (Corey Stoll) inability to impregnate his wife, youngest brother Phillip's (Adam Driver) inability to fully commit to his much older girlfriend, and Wendy's distance from her always-on-the-phone-for business-calls husband creates a tense atmosphere in the Altman household. In between the small arguments and bickering, the siblings use humor to enlighten the frustrating twists and turns their lives are taking. The very open family showers the film with R-rated comedy much like what is found in Paul Feig's Bridesmaids. You won't find a whole lot of raunchy material here, however. Shawn Levy digs deep inside the hearts of all these characters to define each and every one using the actors and actresses awesome delivery of each line. Whoever did the casting was brilliant. Chaotic, tear-jerking, emotional and hysterical, This Is Where I Leave You is filled with problematic relationships and heartbreak that makes you question if you could ever find true love. With back to back issues, watchers really need to pay attention to fully understand the message behind this movie. However, you wouldn't be wasting your cash with this purchase. This Is Where I Leave You is easy to describe as a blessing in disguise.

ruimsl I didn't know about this movie until a few days ago when I saw a trailer of it on TV, and it caught my attention.The actors were fairly good at start, but what really caught my eye was the story. I especially like comedy/drama about family inter- relations.So I decide to give it a chance, and I didn't regret it.This is a very well-constructed and modern comedy about a dysfunctional family that grew apart and despite that, they all love each other very much (in their particular way).The script is good. A death in the family brings about the opportunity to reconnect the family, to chase away old ghosts, in a "forced" tell all exercise, all wrapped in by the mourning ceremony of Shiva.The performances are very good, and I especially liked Jane Fonda (she rules completely), Tina Fey and Jason Bateman. They all are no strangers to this kind of movie and we can see why.The director already has some comedies under his belt (Night at the Museum 1 and 2 as well as the reboot of the Pink Panther) making this a very efficient exercise of movie watching.Summing it up I enjoyed this movie very much. It is funny, and a bit of a kicker in family ties so just my kind of movie. We should always thing about the best thing/choice for us but we can't forget those who love us. Maybe they can help.
