![]() The only reason it works as well as it does is because of the actors Jason Segel plays Jeff with the bizarre kindergarten-teacher warmth he brings to all of his roles, Ed Helms is very good at being not-very-good-guy Pat, and Susan Sarandon is excellent as their lonely, frustrated mother. It is pretty mundane all around, the people are average, the city is unimpressive, the plot is not really a plot but a web of who-is-doing-what for the short period of time the movie covers. This is a great movie for anybody who likes low key, character-oriented stories. Teens and up may find this movie rewarding as well as funny. On the messages front, the main character believes that everything is connected in some way, and the movie's plot revolves around this belief - ultimately, all of the characters learn to be happier after embracing that viewpoint. Characters shout at one another fairly often and use strong language, including "f-k" and "s-t." There's a fair bit of sex talk and sexual innuendo, and two women share a tender first kiss. The main character (played by The Muppets' Jason Segel) smokes pot, and his brother drinks beer and whisky. Parents need to know that Jeff, Who Lives at Home is a low-key dramedy with some vulgar content but also some worthwhile messages. His brother drinks too many beers at a restaurant and then later drinks a "Jack and Coke."ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
