Jeff Who Lives at Home is the new indie comedy, directed by brothers Mark and Jay Duplass, filled with established stars such as, Ed Helms, Jason Segel, Susan Sarandon and Judy Greer.
In the film, the mother of two grown sons, career-driven Pat (Ed Helms) and soul-searching Jeff (Jason Segel), becomes exhausted with Jeff’s lack of guidance and asks Pat to spend the day with him to spark any interest he may have in growing up. They encounter countless unexpected and comedic events that lead to one fateful day for their entire family.
The film balances showing the misadventures of this dysfunctional family, which
not only expresses the depth of characters, but also brings reality to the plot.
This movie is a different kind of role for most of the stars, but there are still familiar character aspects that will leave the audience satisfied.
“This movie is kind of in keeping with the Duplass brothers’ tone, it sort of rides the line into drama a little bit. So, we actually had a really good time improvising together, but not necessarily finding the funniest jokes as much as sort of just finding the most authentic way to do a scene,”
Ed Helms said.
The search for fate restored leads Jeff to find himself beyond the confines of his mother’s basement, but leads to a heartwarming tale filled with emotion and heart.
“It is a wonderful, compelling, hilarious and moving script,”
Ed Helms said.
Jeff Who Lives at Home comes to theatres March 16.
