Family joys & pains in movie

MANILA, Philippines - From director Shawn Levy (Real Steel) comes the dramatic comedy This is Where I Leave You based on the hilarious and poignant best-selling novel by Jonathan Tropper.

It features a starring ensemble cast, including Golden Globe-winner Jason Bateman (Arrested Development); Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Tina Fey (30 Rock); and two-time Oscar winner and multiple Golden Globe honoree Jane Fonda (Coming Home, HBO’s The Newsroom).

When their father passes away, four grown siblings, 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 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.

The film also stars Adam Driver (Girls), Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids), Corey Stoll (Midnight in Paris), Kathryn Hahn (Parks and Recreation), Connie Britton (Nashville), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Dax Shepard (Parenthood), Debra Monk (Damages), Abigail Spencer (Rectify) and Ben Schwartz (House of Lies).

(Opening across the Philippines on Nov. 12, This is Where I Leave You will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.)
