                     Jeff Who Lives At Home


                                                Opening Friday March 16th!!

Directed by Jay Duplass and produced by Steven Rales and Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking and Up in the Air), Jeff Who Lives At Home stars Jason Segel. At the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, the movie received positive reviews. Segel gained his popularity through the film "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". He is one of the best actors of his genre (comedy) today.

The film is about two brothers and the miscues in their lives. Jeff (Segel) is 30 years old and has been living at home his entire life. He abuses marijuana and hasn't felt too motivated during his life. He explains how he is waiting to understand his life's fate.He watches the movie "Signs" all day.  His brother (Ed Helms) is a business man who is struggling with a failed marriage. He purchases a sports car (Porsche) to relieve his midlife crisis. His wife does not approve; from a financial standpoint. The phone rings while Jeff is at home and the person asks for "Kevin". Jeff believes that this is his fate and that this is his "sign". The two confront each other about their issues and overcome hilarious obstacles along the way.

The film runs 83 minutes. It had a budget of 10 million which will most likely make all of its money back. It is rated R due to the sexual reference, profanity and drug reference.

It appears to be a successful movie. The last 3 films that Segel has been in have all grossed at least 150 million. Expect this movie to keep pace with those. Go see this movie on Friday when it comes out!!!
