Jeff Who Lives At Home Review

                                      Jeff Who Lives At Home comes from The Duplass Brothers, who have managed to impress again and again. Every movie I have seen of theirs I liked. Even Cyrus, which I was very disappointed by, I still found some enjoyment out of. The film stars Jason Segel as Jeff, a 30-something pothead who still lives in his mom's basement. Jeff believes that everything is connected and everything happens for a reason. After a serious of strange occurrences, Jeff runs into his brother, Pat (Ed Helms). Pat's wife, Linda (Judy Greer) is mad at him, and Pat and Jeff soon go on an adventure to find out if Linda is having an affair.

                                     Without further ado, I will tell you that this is my favorite Duplass Brothers film so far. This is an excellent exploration into the mind of a man who is smarter than he appears to everyone. The great thing about the characters are that they are not cliche. While Jeff seems like a typical dumb pothead, he's so much more than that. Jeff believes everything happens for a reason, and let's just say his theory is right. Also, Susan Sarandon plays Jeff and Pat's mother, Sharon, and Rae Dawn Chong is her co-worker, Carol. There is an excellent plot involving Sharon's secret admirer and Carol's jealousy over the fact. The whole film explores people in the deepest manner. These are people who live and breathe and act just like us. Pat is a working man, and Jeff shares the same beliefs and actions that many people have.

                                    As the film progresses, we learn more and more about the everyday goings-on of these people. The film follows every little step of these peoples' lives and has fun doing so, and by the end, the audience feels emotionally involved with these characters. The film is acted perfectly by the entire cast, and The Duplass Brothers have an excellent directing style. Jeff Who Lives At Home is a phenomenal piece of work that should be seen by anyone who is tired of all the typical Hollywood films now-a-days.
(5 out of 5 Stars, The film is rated R for language including sexual references and some drug use)
