Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Jason Segel is amazing as always.

Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Judy Greer, and Susan Sarandon Two siblings Jeff, who lives with his mom unemployed and still searching for purpose in life and Pat, a tone deaf salesman who buys a Porsche on a whim he can't afford Both of them have a pretty overwhelmed mother who starts getting emails from a secret admirer Jeff sees Pat's wife with another man and things get tricky It's not easy having a brother you can't stand much less one being less happy than the other they don't even realize it Nobody wants to drift through life not knowing what it is Are there multiple signs that connect to what we really want? Finding someone who sees you as exactly who you are is the most important thing Segel and Helms are really good as these conflicting brothers discovering what's actually making them unhappy and unfulfilled, both of them are very self-deluded Sarandon gets her own time too to figure out what she wants to do next in her middle age The middle of the film kinda loses its way but everything wraps up in the end nicely Jay and Mark Duplass as director and writer make this family-drama a charmer that's odd, sweet, funny and languid It's very short but very involving and relatable in many respects

I really like it! Great writing when all three subplots join together at the climax. the Susan Sarandon office love scene was exceptional.

Milquetoast dark comedy that centers on a pivotal day for two adult sons and their mother. The title gives it most it's direction despite it being somewhat of a misdirection.

An interesting quirky little movie that was more a melancholy exploration of human connectiveness rather than a full fledged comedy. Had some really good acting in certain scenes and an interesting message to think about. It’s a bit too strange and random at times but I think that’s what some will like about it. An indie film for those willing to embrace the weirdness

Not much of the comedy that it's sold as and that the casting would have you believe, but it's still a moving, thought provoking character study of a man who's a shabby loser on the surface, but is actually a deep, emotional savior.

Sweet, heartfelt, and very emotional. It's a great movie for someone who is feeling down. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not really that funny. I would classify it more as a drama however still a great movie.

In Jeff, Who Lives at Home, Jeff (Jason Segel) is a man approaching middle-age who spends his days perched on the couch in his mother's basement smoking weed while pondering karma, destiny, interconnectedness, and the tapestry of the universe. A wrong number phone call from a man looking for Kevin sets off a chain of events that ultimately bring all of the characters to a crossroad that will forever change their lives. Directed and written by Jay and Mark Duplass, it's alternately sweet and sad and humorous, but never loses fact of the reality that everything that we do leads us somewhere. Segel is great as the enigmatic Jeff, as are Susan Sarandon and Ed Helm as Jeff's mother and brother. Stylistically, the constant quick zooms grow a bit tiresome, but this can be overlooked considering the good-natured vibe that the movie sends out.

Great movie, so sweet and thoughtful. Would definitely watch again.
