Jeff, Who Lives at Home-2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring Jason Segel, Susan Sarandon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #107<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"70208253\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed July 12, 2014<\/p>\n

Grade: B<\/strong><\/p>\n

I confess to not being a huge fan of Jason Segel.<\/p>\n

Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2011) tells the story of a slacker who lives with his mother and lives in the shadows of his successful brother, played by Ed Helms.<\/p>\n

He regularly smokes pot and looks for meaning in random occurrences.<\/p>\n

One day he begins an adventure when he believes he sees meaning in a phone call and it sets up a series of mishaps involving his brother and estranged wife, played by Judy Greer.<\/p>\n

The secondary story involves the mother (Susan Sarandon), who leads a dull life working a mundane job. She suddenly develops a secret admirer at her job.<\/p>\n

The film was much better than expected. As the movie unfolds it turns into a day in the life of a dysfunctional, yet loving family.<\/p>\n

I expected a silly, dumb comedy given the star and the premise, but the film was much better than that. It is a nicely layered, touching movie with a message and some spirituality mixed in.<\/p>\n

I loved the ending and was impressed by the heartfelt nature of this small little slice-of-life film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
