One not-so-ordinary ordinary gathering at a family lunch with an array of interesting actors. I was especially happy to see Jason Bateman and Rose Byrne, mostly because I love them in movies. However, it was interesting to watch the other actors, too. I personally think that it would be pleasant to chime in on such a family lunch. I’d get loads of photos developed and then beg them for some autographs with dedications, because I think that I’d stir more embarrassed emotions that I’ve seen throughout the movie; and there were loads.

A little big movie about grief. And it's beautiful. Part of the charm is the fact that the script was written by Jonathan Tropper himself - the author of the book "This Is Where I Leave You," which, strangely enough, has the same name in all its forms, and thankfully no one from the film distribution has thought to break it. Jane Fonda reigns supreme.

One of the best ensemble casts in history in a unique combination of complete alienation and absolute understanding in one. All the characters occasionally kill and devour each other, just like every family.
