JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME Special Screenings

In their second major studio outing (following CYRUS), Jay and Mark Duplass tell the story of a day being blown off course with beauty, clarity and style. Jason Segel shines as Jeff, a late-blooming loser living in his mother’s basement. His day of existential contemplation is interrupted when his mom (Susan Sarandon) asks him to run to the store for wood glue. Jeff’s minor errand soon becomes a major odyssey driven by his search for clues to the meaning of life. Along the way, Jeff careens into the path of his brother Pat (Ed Helms), whose own life, and notably his marriage, is also cast ad rift. Artfully etched by the Duplass brothers, these roles provide amazing showcases for Segel’s charms, Helms’ anxiety and Sarandon’s emotional depths. At times funny, thrilling and heartbreaking, JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME finds in its low-key slacker Jeff a bigger-than-life specimen of a modern hero.
