Very odd just ultimately worth your fourth dimension.

"Jeff, Who Lives at Domicile" is Non a film for everyone. It is very indie in style and features mixed upward characters who are difficult, at times, to like. It is far from the sort of thing you'd expect to come across from Hollywood, that'southward for sure.

Jason Siegal stars as the title character. He's a xxx year-old loser--with no job and living in his mother'southward basement. He sits around smoking a bell and has picayune going for him other than, downwards deep, he is still a very squeamish person. Much of the motion-picture show concerns him and his brother, Pat (Ed Helms) who is MUCH easier to dislike. Unlike the optimistic Jeff, Pat is caustic--disquisitional and not particularly nice. Their mother (Susan Sarandon) is frustrated with her life...though she has a hard time recognizing this. By the finish of the flick, events have taken place that both bring them all together and get them all to reassess who they are.

Every bit you can tell, this is certainly not a traditional plot. It's much more like a typical Duplass Brothers film--with realistic but highly flawed characters that you grow to like in spite of themselves. However, different one of their films, they apparently impressed someone with coin, as this one has major stars and evidently cost much more to make. Not a bright film only there are many, many small moments that you'll capeesh. Also, it starts off VERY slow--stick with this 1.

By the way, in a supporting part you'll probably recognize Steve Zissis from anther Duplass film, "The Do-Deca Decathlon".
