Movie Review: This is Where I Leave You

Image
Continuing our string of books-to-movies this week is This is Where I Leave You , based on the novel by Jonathan Tropper , who also wrote the movie's screenplay.

I saw the movie in 3D although it wasn't really needed—it did enhance some scenes, though, which was pretty cool.  This movie was very unique and I can't say I've seen anything else like it, although it did give me some Ready Player One  vibes. In this case, though, instead of a h
