This Is Where I Leave You

Welcome Home. Get Uncomfortable.

When their father passes away, four grown siblings are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humour, heartache and redemption that only families can provide.

Die Burger Rozanne Els Morsige gesin roer hartsnare.	10
Cape Times Todd McCarthy Potty-mouthed comedy.	10
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Aside from the moments of forced comedy, the performances from the cast are generally good and deliver what's needed, with Bateman nicely grounding both his character and thus the film as a whole.	12
