“..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]
Review rate : B
“..with his large bod, soft features, and air of goofy sweetness, Jason Segel is a natural fit for Jeff, Who Lives at Home..”
“..with his large bod, soft features, and air of goofy sweetness, Jason Segel is a natural fit for Jeff, Who Lives at Home..”
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]
