Too often lately it seems like Sarandon's been downgraded to playing the drab mother figure with nothing to do, and that would have been a very easy road to take for this. And you do feel for both of them.īut I think one of the best things about the film is that Susan Sarandon actually had her own story arc. Likewise, Pat seems like an easy fit for Helms - he's hardheaded and kind of a douche - but you also relate and struggle with the character. Segel's Jeff is still a pothead - much like many of his other characters - but there's a vulnerability there that we haven't seen too much of in his previous roles. We've seen both Segel and Helms play caricatures for so long that it's kind of easy to forget that they're actually talented actors as well as comedians. As one would expect, Segel and Helms have excellent chemistry together as estranged siblings. while also searching for the meaning of his own life of course. Along the way, he runs into his brother Pat ( Ed Helms) and decides to help him find out if his wife Linda ( Judy Greer) is having an affair. When he's dispatched from the basement on an errand from his mother Sharon ( Susan Sarandon), Jeff decides instead to finally shape his own destiny in any way the cosmos sees fit. The story centers on slacker Jeff ( Jason Segel), who, as one might surmise, lives at home. ![]()
