To me the film was like a cross between a Wes Anderson film
and The Office. It has the odd,
quirky indie charm of an Anderson
picture but the awkward humour and filming style of The Office. Unfortunately it was neither as good as any Wes
Anderson film I’ve seen nor The Office.
At times it was quite funny but these moments were usually fleeting and there
weren’t many of them. The story was reasonably interesting and the film had a
sweet ending but it just didn’t mesh together. The whole ‘the Universe will
show me the way’ nonsense was really annoying and although the ending was very
sweet, it was obvious and annoyed me.

Jeff, Who Lives at Home
Jeff (Jason Segel) is a thirty year old man with a puncheon
for the film Signs and lives in his
mother Sharon’s (Susan Sarandon) basement. His older brother Pat (Ed Helms)
still lives close by with his wife Linda (Judy Greer). He and Linda are in the
midst of serious marital problems. One day while she is at work, Sharon asks Jeff to go to
the shop to pick up some wood glue. Convinced that the name Kevin is some sort
of sign he ill advisedly follows various Kevins’ around the city bumping into
his brother along the way.
