About this movie

When their father passes away, four grown siblings (Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Corey Stoll), bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother (Jane Fonda) and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide-- driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.

Ratings and reviews

I could say Jonathan Tropper's book-which this is based on-is better, but that's missing the point. The script, while okay, is greatly improved by the cast. Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, and especially Jane Fonda really carry this movie at a great pace. The world is belivable, and you ultimately feel sad for the characters, while still feeling good about watching this movie. The rotten tomatoes score really doesn't give it justice.

Nikon coolpix the same time as the name suggests, but I am a bit of a new one. I have a good idea to advertise the best of the year, the more you

Reminds me of a lot of stupid stuff, we used to do when we were kids ;)
