Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Jeff (Jason Segel) is a man on a quest, a quest to find a connection with the world that means something special to him, something that transcends everyday existence and makes his existence special. And if it comes to him while he’s sitting in the basement of his childhood home where he still lives, even though he’s in his 30s, getting stoned and watching TV, then so much the better. On the surface, Jeff, Who Lives at Home feels like just another slacker comedy from the Duplas brothers (Mark and Jay). It’s slow paced, low-tech and plays like the cast and crew were as stoned as the main character when they made it. But don’t let the surface fool you; this is a sharp, well-written and really funny film.
