Ed Helms (The Hangover) Jason Segel
(The Muppets) and Oscar-winner, Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise)
star has a disjointed family making do with their lot, missing their
late father/husband, putting up with each other and despairing at
Jeff’s (Segel) half-hearted search for the meaning of life.
Despite prophesising about the
intricacies of the universe, Jeff must first take the step of leaving
the comfort of his mother’s basement before he can embark on what
turns out to be one perfect day of signs, serendipitous moments and
eventual self-fulfilment.
Writing/directing
team, brothers Jay and Mark Duplass, made their name making creative
short films and have stuck to their indie roots with this small,
thoughtful production.
Jeff Who Lives At Home is a film about
enlightenment without the condescending ‘personal journey’ talk
but WITH the often-missing humour that similar stories fail to
successfully incorporate.
