I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Jeff, Who lives at Home
Need a movie that's not "run of the mill"? I did. We went to see a small independent movie, "Jeff, Who Lives at Home starring Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Susan Sarandon and Judy Greer.
Jeff (Jason Segel) is a 30 year old pot smoker who lives at home in his mother's basement and has watched M. Night Shyamlan's movie "Signs" way too many times. He breaks from reality every time he sees what he believes to be a sign. His older brother (Ed Helms) is also a piece of work who is going through a mid-life crisis type of thing and buys a new Porsche against the will of his wife. The brothers don't get along with each other or their mother played Susan Sarandon.
The movie is one day in their lives and it is crazy, funny and at the same time real. It is paced well and you get to spend time watching dysfunction at its best. You don't ever see where this a going but it is a good ride.
It is R for the frequent use of the F-word. The only violence is the treatment of a new Porsche Boxster. It is PG50: Only people with experience will get it!
