This Is Where I Leave You

Hilary Altman: For the next seven days, you are all my children again and you are all grounded.
Sometimes a film works merely based on an all-star cast. You can get away with some passionless writing if you have a convincing cast. This Is Where I Leave You is the newest film from director Shawn Levy and has enough fluff to entertain those familiar with the talent on display. It’s fun watching these characters deal with the unbearable situations they manage to get themselves into and how they revel in each other’s company. Imperfections aside and bolstered by first-rate performances, I was delighted to sit this Shiva.
