![]() ![]() As Judd deals with his marriage, Paul struggles to make a baby with his wife Annie (Kathryn Hahn). ![]() The Altman family’s four kids, Paul (Corey Stoll), Judd (Bateman), Wendy (Tina Fey) and Philip (Adam Driver), come together under the roof of their Westchester suburban home to sit shiva with their mother, Hilary (Jane Fonda), for their seemingly “atheist” father. Just when Judd thinks the worst has come, he gets a call that his father has passed away. Just five minutes in, Judd walks in on his wife, Quinn, and boss, Wade (Dax Shepard), having sex. The film opens with the main character, Judd Altman (Jason Bateman) starting a typical day at his New York City job as a radio show producer. The multiple underdeveloped storylines and the lack of gritty emotion made the A–list cast seem meh. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. Adapted from Jonathan Tropper’s critically acclaimed book of the same title, this rendition proves to readers, once again, that books are better than their movie forms. Despite its star–studded cast, the movie falls short of anything worth remembering. Aptly titled, “This is Where I Leave You” leaves you wanting more. ![]()
