Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

joshmcbridelives Look. I can almost guarantee you that anyone who wrote a bad/okay review for this film, not only doesn't understand this movie, but most likely doesn't understand the universe, or the art of cinema. I would love to philosophize all day about how people are closed minded and essentially unaware of their existence, but I won't. I'm just going to say, being a cinematography major, this is what art looks like in film. It's anything but commercial. The camera work alone will pour emotions through your heart. This movie is not for everyone. But if you are debating on watching it, think Sideways, American Beauty, Demolition, Dead Poets Society. Except that this is a feel-good movie. And it's not like any other movie. Sideways is a good comparison, but I like this much better, it paints a much larger picture. Anyone can love this movie, honestly. Just, "Follow the signs, and you will uncover your destiny."-Jeff

Dominic LeRose We often go through our ordinary lives without truly living and making a difference. It's up to charming indie films like "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" to inspire us. Independent films often touch something true and deep, that many mainstream blockbusters don't come close to. The Duplass brothers are indie kings. They're kind enough to cast Jason Segal, Ed helms, and Susan Sarandon in a film that costs virtually nothing. Jason Segal gives one of his between roles as Jeff, a low- life underachiever who lives in his mother's basement. off on an errand, he spends the afternoon with his miserable brother Pat (Ed Helms) as they track down his wife who they are convinced is having an affair. With only 83 minutes of screen-time, The Duplass brothers pack in hilarious dry humor and touching family scenes that go beyond what may seem expected. The whole central idea these boys try and touch is how there is always destiny in life. Jeff and Pat couldn't have been more likable and refreshing characters to enjoy. We get tons of development from them, and tackle their journey with them. Ed Helms and Jason Segal work brilliantly together. They change the feeling of the film in seconds. It's surprising how hard you can laugh before crying your eyes out due to beautiful brotherly contact. Veteran actress Susan Sarandon is superb as always. We're gifted to have her play the brothers mom, who we learn is having her own crisis after the death of her husband. "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" does get a little pretentious and overdone towards the end, but it's a real audience pleaser that tries to tell an impactful story in the most meaningful way without missing its feel-good effect. Remember, it's a comedy, meaning we do get a lot of mischief between the boys, which may frustrate some viewers. I couldn't have liked it more. This is the pleaser that makes you stand up and cheer if you'r lucky enough to hear about it.

abbywts I know what this movie is supposed to be shooting for, but it misses its mark badly. It's trying to go for quiet, quirky comedy/drama that contains meaningful message. But instead of quiet-it's lethargic. Instead of quirky-it's unfocused. Instead of meaningful, it's saccharin. The concept is silly, which is fine if you can pull it off, here it's not. A 30 year old loser with no prospects sits in his mom's basement smoking pot and obsessed with the movie 'Signs'. His obsession winds up affecting the lives of people around him whose lives are superficially OK, but just as messed up. The part where Susan Sarandon's character starts imaging the sprinklers as a waterfall was where the fake schmaltz level went through the roof. The dramatic rescue scene was the only saving grace in the entire movie.I'm open to these kinds of movies done well, done badly it's just a painful waste of time. Time better spent smoking pot in the basement. If you want to see a movie that's along similar themes that's far more entertaining, go see 'Our Idiot Brother'.

yantaylor I literally couldn't wait for that to finish, even though the film lasts 80 minutes, I think watching paint dry would have gone faster.. I mean come on, I sat down for a comedy, to laugh, to see Segal do what he does best, but instead I get a man with no expressions, following some kind of signs that lead to... absolutely nothing! Just some advice to viewers, this is not a comedy, if you want to feel depressed or your life is boring and you have nothing to do but follow idiotic signs, then this is the film for you.. This is my first review, believe me when I say, I have seen some terrible movies and held my tongue, but this? such a budget as well? on what? I am truly disappointed...
