This is Where I Leave You

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Ensemble comedy-drama featuring Jason Bateman, Adam Driver, Tina Fey, Rose Byrne, Jane Fonda, Dax Shepard, Timothy Olyphant, and other people whose faces you'll know.

Basically, a dad dies and the family has to sit in shiva for 7 days. This allows them to catch up and deal with all of their issues.

Bateman is the main player here. The story revolves around him, although everyone is given a chance to shine.

I could see where people would be turned off by this film, particularly based on the conclusions reached by Bateman towards the end.

I enjoyed it.
