Last night we watched “This is Where I Leave You”, a movie from 2014 that I somehow missed. It stars Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Adam Driver, Dax Shepard and several other good actors. It’s about a large dysfunctional family who’s father dies and they’re all forced to come back to their childhood home and live together again for a week.

It’s a comedy/drama and I thought it was really good. The entire family is pretty screwed up and the chemistry between all of the different family members is very funny and sometimes awkward and emotional.

Kevin was actually key to me finding this movie. He showed me a clip from the Internet of a key fight scene in the movie and it looked pretty funny. I recognized Jason Bateman right away, and I assumed it was a scene from Arrested Development. I later realized that Adam Driver (Kylo Ren from Star Wars) was also in it, but I don’t recall Adam Driver being in Arrested Development, so I looked into it further on the web. I quickly found the one movie that both of these actors were in and I knew this was it. I watched a few more clips and the trailer, then decided we needed to watch this one. It didn’t disappoint.

I also found another Jason Bateman movie in the process that sounds pretty good that I want to watch too: “Bad Words”. I’ll be watching that one in the near future. These should give me a good JB fix until Ozark returns with Season 4.
