ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSep 18, 2014
Even considering some of its late-innings flaws, this is an engaging movie that doesn't mistake histrionics and bile for solid family reunion drama. Read full review

HitfixDrew McWeenySep 11, 2014
The film is often quite funny, and just real enough that we may recognize ourselves in some small way in this family. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeySep 18, 2014
When the grown-up going gets tough, the one thing you know is that the Altmans won't abandon one another. Which makes "This Is Where I Leave You" not earthshaking by any stretch, but somehow reassuring. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthySep 11, 2014
You laugh in spite of yourself in This Is Where I Leave You, a potty-mouthed comedy with enough exasperation, aggravations, long-standing grievances and get-me-outta-here moments of family stress to strike a chord with anyone who’s ever had to endure large clan gatherings that might have lasted a bit too long.

As a film it feels overly familiar, with some amusing scenes, but not enough to make for a wholly satisfying experience. Read full review

Thing is, Levy is a hard-sell man. He pushes the material so hard, it's as if he were working on commission. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreSep 16, 2014
A big, broad dysfunctional family comedy, sort of a “Parenthood” pushed into R-rated “Adulthood” territory. Read full review
