THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU (2014) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@liamisaac1152]

This is such a beautiful movie that I feel is seriously overlooked. The first time I watched it I cried. Specifically because the storyline with Wendy and Horry hits so close to home for me. I married my highschool sweetheart as soon as we graduated at 18. When I was 21 I was in an accident that left me paralyzed from the waist down. It was a very small percentage that I’d ever be able to walk again. Although my wife wanted to stay by my side it meant giving up transferring to an out of state college, which she always wanted to do since she was a kid. I was in such a bad shape and even if she wanted to take care of me I couldn’t live with being the reason she gave up on her dreams. I couldn’t go with her because insurance and physical therapy and healthcare were so crucial, i needed to stay in my home state to cover everything. I filed for the divorce. She got to move on and live her life. I slowly (after almost 7 years) got to finally walk again. We slowly reconnected as well. She lives out of state still but she’s forgiven me and have come to something close to friends but part of me will always be in love with her and think about the what ifs. Watching this just broke my heart. Seeing another happy couple who clearly loved each deeply being robbed of a life together. It’ll never not fill me with so much sadness for them.

[@jaydubs6354]

This is one of those hidden gem movies. Knock out cast! Hilarious dialogue, funny and quirky family drama lol.

[@gerardoreyes602]

I break up with the Tina fey and Adam driver scene about how he raised him and it's her voice he hears correcting him. 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@MichaelCoffman-w6o]

NO MORE PIZZA!😂😂

[@zbennalley]

God, Cassie knows when to drop a reaction. I'm going to my cousin's funeral this Tuesday. He used to babysit me and helped raise me. It's hard grieving, but also seeing a part of my family that I'm kind of disconnected with. All of the emotions in this film are helping me right now, and to have Cassie drop this just made me feel a relief. Don't think your reactions don't connect to people. It helps brighten my day, but right now, it's helping me grieve. Thank you.

[@nochannel1q2321]

Huh, somehow I heard snacks as "sex" and did a double-take until I listened more attentively and heard "snacks."

[@alyzu4755]

I'm so very sorry about your cousin. May his memory be a blessing. ❤️

[@Manofsteel1701-f4r]

My older cousin was the first guy who babysat me. He taught me how to be fun and love life. In 2020 I lost him, my grandfather, and almost my mom in one week. I’m so sorry for your loss and the only thing I can say is those memories keep you filled with love for that person.

[@zbennalley]

@alyzu4755 thank you

[@zbennalley]

@danielgalway8395 thank you I will.

[@Beckywyse]

One of the best movies I've seen...adam doesn't leave anything undone... wonderful actors.

[@freddiemossberg7204]

Jason Bateman is one of the most solid underrated actors working today. Since Arrested Development I’ve never seen him give a bad performance. Ozark being his best work yet.

[@FilmWryter-321]

This is also like The Family Stone (for anyone looking for a similar movie). I come from a family of 6 siblings so I feel a personal connection to these types of movies with large-sibling inter-conflict and chaos under one roof. Wouldn't trade those times for anything.

[@that.ll_do_pig]

I love the movie Family Stone but it also makes me really annoyed. Lol

[@cog4life]

Gotta be in my top 5 movies!

[@rexbitten]

I'm a big fan of The Family Stone and this movie as well. I love when a movie is well cast like these.

[@cog4life]

This and “The Family Stone” are 2 extremely underrated complicated family movies.

[@W.TX806]

Family Stone is a good one.

[@ct6852]

Cassie said that's one of her top five Christmas movies.

[@zimvader25]

@@ct6852it should be on everyone’s top Christmas movies. The fact that a lot of people haven’t even heard of these movies is insane to me.

Dan in Real Life is a slice of life type movie. .. youd love it. Cheera!

[@alyzu4755]

I love that movie! 😍

[@blaynebevins4332]

This!

[@zmarko]

Such a lesser known, underrated movie. I love this film. All the performances (specifically Jane Fonda) are incredible. It's just a great family comedy-drama, and I'm super glad you're reacting to it! :)

[@HowlinLordByron]

"The mother in that Jennifer Lopez movie..." Oh, my heart. Jane Fonda is a legend. Jennifer Lopez was basically a co-star.

[@mbrooks1991]

I remember in a interview that Jane Fonda did when promoting this movie she stated when the cast did the table read, the person who she was the most impress with was Adam Driver even compared him to a young Robert DeNiro

[@michelle_pgh]

This is the first film Cassie has done that I'd never heard of before. Lots of talented people in it, so I'm surprised it went under my radar.

[@liquididentity101]

There was a decent amount of solid moments left out. If you can, I recommend watching the full movie yourself sometime.

[@YoshMaster]

Same! I’ve been watching 50+ movies a year since 2004 and yet I’ve somehow never heard of this before! And yet it’s obviously an awesome movie!! I need to watch this with my gf in a few years when I won’t remember everything from this video 😝

[@danielhoehne801]

Haven't even started watching, but as soon as I saw she had watched this, instant click. This is such a Cassie movie, and an all-time, low-key favorite of mine. Have been so hoping that this would be reacted to.

[@seanking1775]

I also love Arrested Development dearly. If you want more comfort movies like this, Dan in Real Life and One Fine Day are right up your alley.

[@StardustandMadness]

I love this movie so much. Everyone was fantastic in this. My mum and I had a girls’ night at the movies for this one and it holds a special place in my heart because of that.

[@jayshupp5971]

Such a low key, good film. It's so underrated. Jason Bateman is one of my favorite actors, he only picks good films to star in. Bad Words, The Gift, Zootopia, Horrible Bosses, Disconnect, State of Play and Office Christmas Party are some of my other favorite movies of his.

[@PurushaDesa]

I second that. I just love the way Jason Bateman handles dialogue, whether it's comedy or drama.

[@MrBoyYankee]

Bad Words is my shyt.

[@MrBoyYankee]

Watch the change up as well.

[@jayshupp5971]

@@MrBoyYankeeI have. While it’s not one of my favorite films by Jason Bateman, it’s still very good.

[@Jsans24-dz2mc]

Teen Wolf Too was my jam as a kid

[@Thuddster]

Another excellent 'reunion' theme movie to see, is The Big Chill. Outstanding cast, and it won 3 Oscars - put it on your list, Cassie, it won't disappoint!

[@sharonjoan1970]

OMG I LOVE this Movie So Much ❤😍❤ So Happy you are reacting to this.

[@llorona7847]

This is such a feel-good film. It has an amazing cast and perfect runtime for the story they were trying to tell. Two thumbs up for sure. It’s one of my comfort films.

[@danholmesfilm]

Never pegged Cassie as an Arrested Development fan lol :)

[@nickt3176]

I absolutely cannot believe one of my favorite movie reactors watched this movie! It’s such an unknown movie I never imagined anyone would react to it. This movie has so much heart and soul, and such a stellar cast. It’s one of my all-time favorites. Thank you for watching this!

[@nickt3176]

Also, yes - Adam Driver is hot. My wife and I agree on this 😂

[@Gavin_Harris]

Thank you so much for this!! This is one my fav movies of all time and not that many reactions on KZbin. I loved watching you enjoy this film!!

[@dustnea]

This and Dan in Real Life are two of my favorites in this genre. Paul Rudd has a couple like this called Our Idiot Brother and Wanderlust that are good. Paul and Steve Carell are great in Dinner for Schmucks. Jason Bateman is great in pretty much anything.

[@adon10009]

Such a shame there isn’t enough reactions to this. It’s a massively underrated film.

[@MrSamR100]

everything Jason is in is good because of him , not that the others werent BUT JASON ! 😊

[@griesi31]

Adam Driver IS hot, end of discussion 🔥👍 And that scene at the end when they got their heads together like their father did with them, such a sweet well played heartbreaking scene. Underated movie.

[@lisagrahn7503]

I think Adam Driver is awesome. He's a different kind of good looking. He's an amazing actor, too.

[@TyTM21]

I remember watching this kind on a whim. Interested because it had Bateman and Fey. By the end of the film it makes you want to call your family. Call your friends. Not just a text but a phone call so you can hear their voices. Hear their laughs. One of my favorite films even though I never take the time to re-watch it.

[@lexwells4763]

This movie reminds me of that old TV show "Thirty Something." It has the same feel of "A Lot Like Love" but with older adults. It has that same awkward relationships and friendships going on that make you keep watching to see what happens.

[@haleyleahann8296]

Adam Driver is a prime example of the female gaze-- so yes, he is very attractive.

[@kimwexler9393]

He is IT.

[@jon8004]

I... don't know what that means.

[@sup9542]

​@@jon8004 I don't think it means anything. People come up with all these terms for everything...just say he's attractive.

[@alsale3207]

I loved that Cassie was moved. That made the reaction.

[@monovision566]

A great movie that not enough people paid attention to when it came out, and then was mostly forgotten. It deserves so much more attention. Glad you watched it!

[@josephblumenberg6574]

So glad you checked this gem out! I always loved the balance of humor and heart... and the cast is great!

[@philipgavin6962]

Great movie. Great cast. Everything Jason Bateman does is gold.

[@danielhoehne801]

Just have to say, this is among my favorite movies, and this reaction is among my favorites as well. I swear, best combination. I watch this most days...watched like three times the first day, and once a day for like a week. Each day now, it's something to watch and enjoy any time I need to feel good.

[@Randomcorpse]

This movie came out of nowhere for me and was my introduction to Adam Driver. It's an amazing cast, story, and performances. So many emotions and so beautiful, so honest.

[@Bloodwing797]

Your reaction was great; I'm happy to see someone finally reacting to this underrated movie.

[@dankelly8783]

This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart. The opening scene at the radio station (Bolt Satellite Radio) was shot at my job. The former studios of 95-5, WPLJ, New York City. They set up the sets a couple days before - decorating with art/posters/etc and then they shot the outdoor scene with Bateman walking in with the coffee, then down the hall, then the cake scene....all in one long day. Was an incredible experience. Sadly, WPLJ was shut down in 2019 and those studios don't exist anymore but they live forever in this movie, which is so amazing.

[@marieantoinette1360]

Such a great little movie, I'll rewatch it whenever just to relax.

[@Ghost_in_Gray_]

I saw this film in theaters and it really struck a chord with me; has been one of my favorites since. I’m glad you reacted to it!

[@lodrbyroni]

Should totally still do Mystery, Alaska. Its about hockey ya but more of like this movie small town life and relationships then sports.

[@emmanuelmorales3208]

To be honest I've never been a fan of these types of movies but between the writing, cast and their amazing execution, i think this is at the top of the list for the genre. From the personal experiences I've had such as a cheating wife, possible miscarriage, chaotic and immature brother, a father passing away, among others THIS WAS A ROLLER COASTER! Thank you so much Cassie.❤😢😂👍💯

[@MrHale]

Never expected someone would react to this movie. I love it so much. Getting some food and we'll see if you like it too! Thanks for the video.

[@richarddronkert446]

What a great reaction to one of my favourite movies! I can watch this movie over and over and still find new things to love. The first reaction I saw was for the movie Airplane and what a growth you've made Cassie since then! I hope you can add the movie Phenomenon (1996) to your list. This movie has it all, comedy, romance, drama, Sci-fi and it has a great cast too with John Travolta, Forest Whitaker and Robert Duvall. There is no doubt in my mind that you won't love this movie.

[@katrinaleebaldwin4660]

The Family Stone is similar in feel to this movie. Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, and Tyrone Giordano.

"WILD THINGS" with Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Bill Murray, Robert Wagner is Definitely a movie to see!!

[@zachedwards6006]

I always really enjoyed this movie. Another one that I have always thought of as similar is The Big Wedding. Both of them really slipped under the radar with a stacked cast and I enjoyed both.

Jane Fonda is SO MUCH MORE than "Monster-in-law"...even though it was nice to see her after a 15 year absence (She's a double Oscar Winner,Cassie)👍❤️🎩

Love that you did this movie! Another little known movie is The Majestic with Jim Carrey. Unlike most of his movies, he plays a very subdued character during post WWII, small town America. Great cast with heart warming, heart breaking out comes. Never knew he could play such a charming part. I really enjoy your reactions.

[@SeanHendy]

A favourite of mine that this reminds me of, is 'Peter's Friends'. Pretty much a who's who of British Film making, it stars Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Kenneth Branagh, Tony Slattery, Emma Thompson, Richard Briers.

The chemistry between the actors and actress who played the siblings was so great that you believed they could be siblings. One weird bit of trivia I learned after watching this: The actor who plays Paul (the oldest sibling) is younger than Jason Bateman in real life.

[@gchild1286]

I really like this movie. I can relate to Jason Bateman’s character in most things but a lot in this. I an a middle aged man. I am one of 4 children. The second oldest boy with one sister. I’m divorced as well and have one child from that failed marriage. I too had been planning my life to go perfectly my entire youth and it went to crap anyway. But the part I relate to the most was when he told Rose Byrnes character that he had been working his whole life not to end up exactly where he currently is. That breaks my heart sometimes.

[@ArthurTumwine]

This is an excellent movie...i am surprised i have never seen it, much thanks to you

[@TheNamelessFilm]

Bateman doesn’t do bad!! This cast is easily one of the best casts EVER. The book was one of my favorites of the year and the film DID NOT disappoint.

[@JaseFace1985]

In case you need help making up your mind about Adam Driver being hot, he was a US Marine. Which adds a whole other element to his personality.

[@cdlehner511]

Nice pick, and good insights Cassie. Real under-the-radar gem. You’re spot on that a) the humor is smart/deadpan…and that’s probably why it’s not “mainstream” popular (also like Arrested Development); and b) yes…it borrows that “my crazy family” element, from Parenthood (the movie).

[@jerrypeacock2234]

I knew when I saw you were going to review this movie, you would end up crying

[@yanksfan216]

Dan in Real Life is another underrated one

[@trucolors9809]

Cassie - Yes, Adam Driver is hot. In a weird, not-quite-sure-why, dangerous sort of way… but definitely hot! He just has “something”that’s very appealing and hard to describe, for me at least. I fell in love with him watching Girls and he was even weirder in that!

[@ct6852]

My mom definitely thinks so. I said 'really?' And she basically said he has rizz more or less...or whatever the kids call it.

[@edwinpayne2231]

Very nice reaction! If you haven't watched it, a wonderful must see is "A Walk in the Woods" with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte. About two friends who haven't seen each other in years go for A Walk in the Woods together along the Appalachian Trail.
