Regardless of how formulaic these sitcom situations prove to be, and how everything conveniently works out for most of the characters, it's a mildly watchable, R-rated, dysfunctional family comedy.

[An] immensely underseen indie drama about four children returning home as adults when their father dies. This one is such a gem.

The cast comes together as a unit and even though the movie veers toward easy sentimentality when an edgier approach might have been more realistic, the players are the ties that bind the family and this movie together.

In the end, it seems as if the audience is eavesdropping on someone else's shrink session.

There's no new territory, but it was comfortable territory done by people I like, so I was fine with it.

See it on a Sunday matinee with your mom.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 26, 2020

Puts too many well-known personalities against one another, thus making the film feel like a competition for who can grab either the most laughs or teary pathos.

Though neither as funny nor as moving as it might hope - once you factor out the cloying guitar - This is Where I Leave You skates by on the likeability of its cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

While the material might have been a little trite, This Is Where I Leave You has an amazing cast that delivers.

Full Review | Feb 5, 2019

There are some outstanding performances in This Is Where I Leave You, which elevates the movie into something actually watchable, as opposed to a couple of good moments interspersed with scenes meant to be funnier or more affecting.

This Is Where I Leave You sabe compensar su flojo guión con el talento de su reparto.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/ 10 | Dec 27, 2018

Levy had a lot of character arcs to juggle, so it's no surprise he had a hard time keeping them all in the air.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2018

Marketed as a mordant but moving dramedy, it was in fact a glib amalgam of other, better films.

Exactly the kind of movie most will want to cozy up to on the couch while eating yesterday's leftover dinner.

Benefits from it's fleeting fits of comedy and the charisma of its cast, yet sadly lacks bite in the drama department.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2018

Sometimes sappy and sometimes over-the-top, it is mostly enjoyable.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2017

Somewhere in its two hours, This Is Where I Leave You morphs into the well-considered, emotionally resonant fare that we should still expect from our multiplexes.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2017

It's enough to know that Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Connie Britton... bring warmth as well as a certain comic snappiness to the goings-on. Meaning, the movie is perfectly efficient - and likable - whether jerking tears or soliciting laughs.

I wouldn't say I hated it but my dislike knew no bounds.

Jason Bateman is very good at radiating gentle melancholy, and here plays a man with plenty to be blue about.
