you'll never double over in laughter, but the whole thing feels pleasant, and at eighty minutes, goes down pretty smooth
by Chris Bumbray [JoBlo's Movie Emporium ]
with his large bod, soft features, and air of goofy sweetness, Jason Segel is a natural fit for Jeff, Who Lives at Home
Review rate : B
by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]
this isn't a movie for everyone, but for fans of quirky charm leavened occasionally by uncomfortable, realistic exchanges, it's a small delight
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]
this endearing and breezy comic fable watches Jeff's coming of age and promises nothing after his moment of truth
by Sara Maria Vizcarrondo [Boxoffice Magazine ]
there's nothing wrong with Jeff as a character; lovable stoners are a Hollywood fixture. But they're just tough to hang a movie on
by Scott Bowles [USA Today ]
the title says a lot about him - except that Jeff has unexpected depths, as this often engaging and heartfelt comedy-drama shows
by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News ]
the movie's climax is a badly contrived attempt to ratify Jeff's notion of personal destiny
by J. R. Jones [Chicago Reader ]
the movie feels as contrived as its simplistic view of the universe and as unchallenging
by Andrew Schenker [Slant Magazine ]
the film's warm, inspirational finish feels like a surprise, but not at all like a cheat
by Ian Buckwalter [NPR ]
the Duplasses' shooting style, executed by Jas Shelton, sometimes seems incapable of letting two shots in a row pass without at least one short zoom in or out
by John DeFore [Hollywood Reporter ]
semi-improvised dramedies, but lacks the wonderful squirm-inducing quality that sets them apart
by Peter Debruge [Variety ]
it's not a major film, but an endearing adventure in hope nonetheless
by Brian Miller [Village Voice ]
it feels incomplete and the ending is entirely too convenient
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]
feels a little too aimless, then a little too obvious
by Betsy Sharkey [Los Angeles Times ]
ending in an emotional scene that elevates this quirky work
by Linda Barnard [Toronto Star ]
as is, this semi-improvised feature comes off as a willfully vague exercise that, like its dimwit protagonist, presumes that profundity and enlightenment will emerge from the morass eventually
by Keith Uhlich [Time Out New York ]
