Practically Different Generations | |
This Is Where I Leave You / int_25c7875f | comment |
Practically Different Generations: Judd, Wendy, and Paul are all of the same generation while Phillip "the eternal baby" was born around the time they hit adolescence (given Wendy's story of her getting her period while watching him) and his parents have hit their middle-age (given the ages of Jane Fonda and Adam Driver). Phillip also makes it clear that Wendy was the one who raised him. | |

Headbutt of Love: While getting high at the synagogue, Judd and Phillip reminisce how their father would never kiss their foreheads and instead touch them, and they briefly argue over whether it counts as an intimate gesture. At the end, Judd and Phillip do this for a rather long time before saying goodbye to each other. | |

Sibling Triangle: Subverted; Annie dated Judd before she married Paul, but only for a few months and long ago, and it's clear they've both moved on. She does try to seduce him in a moment of weakness, but only because she's desperate for a baby and Judd is fertile. Afterwards, Annie apologizes and he tells her that what she has with Paul should not be risked in order to get pregnant. | |

Informed Judaism: Depicted rather realistically. The Altman children are surprised their atheist father's last request was that they sit shiva for him because he didn't, it was actually the non-Jewish Hilary who claimed he did so the family would spend time together, but they understand the concept with only minimal explanation from the rabbi. At one point Wendy points out that the shiva chairs are set up where they used to put the Christmas tree. | |
