Synopsis: Dispatched from his basement room, Jeff, 30 years old and living with mom, follows the signs along his life. Today, he might discover his destiny, as the signs make him meet his brother as he tracks his possibly adulterous wife.
Review The brother Duplass achieve with normal people in normal situations, what other directorsdo not get with extraordinary people in extraordinary situations. They develop the ordinary hero. The guy that looks like a looser, might be one, but is just living an ordinary life, surrounded by an ordinary family. They maintain a rythm in these ordinary actions, which makes us want to follow the action. Because actually, ordinary life is not boring! This is rare to have a story making ordinary people feeling extraordinary.
The brother of Jeff is a bit overplayed. The scenery is like the movie motto. It is simple. As a comedy, well, you do not laugh that much, but the identification to the viewer is really a good stuff.
Rating: 5 /10
