Jeff, Who Lives At Home

This week I watched the film Jeff, Who Lives at Home starring Jason Segel, Ed Helms, and Susan Sarandon. Jeff (Segel) is a 30-year old stoner currently living in the basement of his mother's (Sarandon) house. With his life lacking direction, Jeff receives an angry phone call from a man asking for a someone by the name of "Kevin". Rather than ignoring the phone call, Jeff decides to spend that day chasing all things related to the name "Kevin".

Pat, (Helms) Jeff's older brother, is a overzealous businessman who is having a troublesome relationship with his wife. Jeff coincidentally runs into Pat and decides that destiny brought them together in order to solve each others life problems. Pat however is much more skeptical to his brother's mindset and insists that he is just high and not thinking correctly. 

The film does a very good job at viewing life in a different sort of perspectives. The opposition between Jeff, who views life in a mystical perspective and his brother Pat, who treats life much more seriously creates a great parallel for the audience. 

I think it's important to always stop and live in the moment and I believe this film did a great job conveying that message. I would recommend the film to all.
