Has anyone managed to see This is Where I Leave You yet? I read the book (by Jonathan Tropper, who also wrote the screen play) and caught the film this weekend. I was left a little disappointed. I thought the book was great, really funny, and overall such a snappy, snarky, quick read. I think the cast was brilliant- Corey Stoll has been a favorite since House of Cards, Jason Bateman, Jane Fonda, Adam Driver, the amazing Tina Fey- but it fell a little flat for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film in the sense of "eh, it was okay". It just didn't have the same joy as the book and felt a little pedestrian. I saw August: Osage County last winter and thought this would be the comedic answer to that movie. I don't mean to discourage people from seeing it, but I'd love to know what other people thought of the film (or book).
