ANGELIKA’S NOTE

From visionary directing/writing duo Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass bring their signature charm to JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME. Starring Jason Segel (THE END OF THE TOUR, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL) in the title role, alongside Ed Helms (VACATION, THE HANGOVER) and Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (THELMA & LOUISE, STEPMOM), it follows a slacker who just might finally discover his destiny when he spends the day with his unhappily married brother as he tracks his possibly adulterous wife. "You come to like Jeff and even to admire him. The aura of holy foolishness that hangs around him is not just bong exhaust: he turns out to be the hero of a disarmingly sincere spiritual fable" (New York Times).

SYNOPSIS

When Jeff (Jason Segel) leaves his mother’s basement to buy wood glue at the store, he looks for signs from the universe to determine his path. However, a series of unexpected and amusing events leads him to cross paths with his family, especially his brother (Ed Helms), in the strangest of circumstances and locations. If Jeff is very lucky and universally blessed, he will find the meaning of his life… and remember to buy the wood glue as well.
