Director : Shawn Levy
Running Time : 103 mins
When their father dies, four siblings are forced to return to their home town for the funeral, where the secrets they’ve been trying to keep from their family soon come into the open, ranging from cheating spouses and divorces, to problems conceiving, while old rivalries and long forgotten arguments come back to haunt the now grown-up children.
This had potential, and when they mentioned sitting shiva, which would mean not leaving the house for days on end, I thought it would be a nice closed-room comedy filled with witty banter and intriguing back and forth discussions. Sadly this element of the plot soon went out the window and the characters were all over the place, blatantly ignoring the funereal instructions. There are some nice moments, but most of them are so simple it’s hard to find them as funny as they should have been.
