JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME (B-)

Bottom Line: A simple-minded, day-in-the-life, dysfunctional-family ‘comedy’ that goofily and warm-heartedly meanders about for its 82-minutes of screen time. ‘Families can be messed up’ and ‘Everything happens for a reason’ are its all-too-familiar messages – but I’ll be darned if it doesn’t make you grin and kind of…sort of care. Get out of the house and catch a matinee of JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME.


Starring: Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Judy Greer and Susan Sarandon
Directed by: Jay and Mark Duplass (BAGHEAD and CYRUS)
Rated: R
Running time: 82 minutes
Story: On his way to the store to buy wood glue, Jeff looks for signs from the universe to determine his path. However, a series of comedic and unexpected events leads him to cross paths with his family in the strangest of locations and circumstances. Jeff just may find the meaning of his life...and if he's lucky, pick up the wood glue as well. (Paramount Vantage)

A little too cute for its own good or should I says contrived quirkiness
