This Is Where I Leave You
About two-thirds into This Is Where I Leave You, siblings Judd and and Wendy Altman (Jason Bateman and Tina Fey) have the most telling of their 9,000 heart-to-heart talks: "Nobody is happy," says Judd. I wonder if that wasn't the original title of this film. Because Jesus Christ, these people are all miserable. And given that the Altmans' story is neither funny enough to be a comedy nor honest enough to be a drama, watching them might make you miserable, too.
