      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      This Is Where I Leave You has its moments, but given the amount of talent assembled onscreen, the rather pedestrian results can't help but feel like a letdown.

      Nicole C Loved this movie and have watched it several times with different people and everyone loved it. Great cast, funny and bittersweet moments, and I am shocked it didn't have higher ratings. Totally underrated movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Alexander H Based on critic reviews, apparently, I'm a know-nothing sucker who is easily entertained and am too stupid to realize this movie is a sanitized retread of other, seemingly more effective movies. But fuck it I loved this movie. It makes me want to have more kids and psychologically manipulate them so that they are guaranteed to turn into charming, yet self-destructive adults like the Altmans. I'll defend this movie to the death (but maybe I should really just read the book). Everyone's allowed to have a guilty pleasure. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review A N Smart and funny with a great cast. Under-rated imho. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Anna M Some funny moments, and a good cast, but too many characters and unlikely storylines to really care about any of them. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Dan G. u All I can say is wow, jason bateman gets annoying by the end. Fairly good paced movie but Bateman becomes insufferable by the end. No way do I see someone falling in love with him the way he is on screen. The whole love part of the movie is baaaaaad like rotten cottage cheese. Mother was a great actor though and the brothers were pretty enduring Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Kelly K I'm surprised by the RT rating. Maybe bc I had no expectations but I thought this movie was hilarious. Dry humor at its finest and realistic non fairytale outcomes to ongoing relationships. Highly recommend and will watch again.

      Jason Bailey Flavorwire It speaks volumes about the current shortage of this type of project that so many talented people were willing to attach themselves to a picture as subpar as this one. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Christianity Today We get set piece after set piece, character moment after character moment, with few of them doing more than letting characters talk about themselves and tell each other things that we're not yet sure we believe. Rated: 1/4 Apr 13, 2016 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) There are a few enjoyable moments, with Fey and Fonda making you wish they had a movie of their own, but sadly the narrative is more concerned with the boys, whose relationship crises are altogether more formulaic and less interesting. Rated: 2/5 Oct 26, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies [An] immensely underseen indie drama about four children returning home as adults when their father dies. This one is such a gem. Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 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. Rated: 4/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
