Downhill

Altogether forgettable, 'Downhill' is an avalanche of its own - starting off more than a little rocky, it accelerates towards its destination as it wipes out everything in its path, whitewashing what was there beforehand. This is an adaptation not only unworthy of the original, but unworthy of the cast it enlisted. Just go hunt down 'Force Majeure'.

The dry humour in this film is dryer than dry ice!

Horrible watch, will not watch again, and warn against.

As much as I am not a fan of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, I thought Will Ferrell would be a proper counter balance.

This is a somewhat closer to the vibe of "Everything Must Go", except now the wife and kids are there to actively attack.

That perspective does show that the movie does what it intended to do, have the audience relate to the trouble and turmoil of the characters, but I just don't feel like it amounted to much.

Perhaps this is intended for a very specific audience of "troubled" or "broken" families trying to stay together, but it really almost feels more like like someone's therapy exercise as an outlet on how to deal with the pain of a similar event.
