Jeff Who Lives At Home (2011)

I thought this movie was good. I have a thing for sad-realism type movies. The movie is about a 30 year old (Jason Segal) who lives in the basement of his mothers house. The movie opens with Segal in deep thought talking about how signs are everywhere only to pan out to find him sitting on the toilet. This is the part where you question if this character is a nut job or quite intelligent. I really enjoyed Segal's performance, then again I pretty much have liked him in all of his movies. This one is by far his most serious and you can really see the sadness resonating in his eyes true to his character. A scene that really stood out to me was the scene where his mother played by Susan Sarandon is in her office when the fire alarm goes off and the sprinklers turn on. Instead of running out with the rest of her coworkers she sits in her chair and leans back as if it were rain falling upon her face. Loved that scene! Made me feel what she was feeling and what she wanted from life. To sum it up, it's about signs being everywhere and it's just how you interpret them. Deep, serious, and awkward.
