Review of This Is Where I Leave You (2014) by Lsmith5 — 21 Sep 2014
If you are comparing the movie to the book, there are some major differences and huge plot points that are left out. The book was, without question, a comedy, with scenes that made me laugh out loud while reading.
The movie, though it had some very funny moments, was more of a drama about family dynamics and fixing broken relationships. Adam Driver steals the screen with his fantastic combination of heartfelt connection and superb comedic timing.
.. and I can't imagine it was easy sharing the camera with the rest of that star-studded cast. Overall a great movie, though, as usual with books-turned-movies, not as good as the reading was.
