![]() ![]() Judd Altman (Bateman) is having the worst year of his life. ![]() But This Is Where I Leave You is without a doubt Levy's most engaging, full-bodied effort yet: a rich, bitter, quirky film about love and family that teeters along the thin, broken lines dividing life and death, and comedy and tragedy. Its narrative might struggle a little at points, and some characters fail to really leap off the screen the way they're clearly meant to. Surprisingly, however, Levy has crafted something witty, wise and quite wonderful from Jonathan Tropper's screenplay (adapted from the latter's own best-selling novel). But that excitement might easily fade away when you realise that the director at the helm of this family dramedy is Shawn Levy, best-known for resolutely mediocre films like Night At The Museum and The Internship. Looking at the starry cast of This Is Where I Leave You, it's easy to get excited about the film. ![]()
