This is Where I Leave You - King Bob - 02-04-2015

I liked this much better than I thought I would. My wife wanted to watch it and I went in with very low expectations. The setup is that the father dies and his last wish is that the family sit shiva for him, so they have to stay together for seven days. The cast is good - Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Rose Byrne, Jane Fonda etc. There are some very funny moments and (naturally) some touching ones. I thought it nicely captured some of the weird feelings after someone dies. Unfortunately the love of the siblings did make me sad because my brother is pretty much a dick.
