The funny, touching and vital Jeff, Who Lives at Home reaffirms your faith in Jay and Mark Duplass. Their films hit you where you live.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"Jeff, Who Lives at Home" is a high-wire act that could crash if the actors were out of sync, but under this big top, the never-better Segel keeps everyone aloft.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
It's boring.
James Adams, Globe and Mail

The lives of these sweet, confused, basically decent people wrap around one another in ways that are funny, far-fetched and touching.
