Judd Altman (Jason Bateman) is a radio producer who finds his wife Quinn (Abigail Spencer) in bed with his boss (Dax Shepard) and about to divorce her. His father passes away and his final wish is for his family to hold shiva even though they're not religious. The family is forced to spend 7 days together. His sister Wendy (Tina Fey) is married with a kid but she still loves Horry Callen (Timothy Olyphant) who got a brain injury when they were young. His mother Hillary (Jane Fonda) got her boobs done and has no boundaries. She is a famous therapist who wrote an in-depth book about her children's sex lives. His irresponsible brother Phillip (Adam Driver) shows up with his psychiatrist fiancée Tracy Sullivan (Connie Britton). His older brother Paul (Corey Stoll) is married to Judd's first girlfriend Annie (Kathryn Hahn) and they can't seem to conceive. Judd reconnects with Penny Moore (Rose Byrne) who has always held a torch for him. Then Quinn shows up with news that she's pregnant with his child.
Honestly, I've condense the interconnection of the characters as much as possible. This is so full that there isn't a spare moment of breather. There are great comedic talents here but everybody is stepping on each other's feet. Everybody is perfectly likable. It may be that there is so much talent in the cast. Everybody is given something to do or be which ends up as being too much. Just when things need to wrap up, the movie adds one more thing.
