I loved it. It was one of those movies that leaves you smiling. The movie came together beautifully at the end. Definitely watch it :)
4.5 stars. this was not a movie that would appeal to those who like ridiculously pretty actors with formulaic plots.
If you like corny sentiment, and worse than average cinematography, you'll love this flick. Not surprised that Sarandon is in it, as the 'message' fits her 'schtick' and of course, she's her very beautiful and accomplished self. The acting was really confident and well done, but the \"follow signs\" nonsense is such sophomoric mush that I felt totally ripped off by the admission
\"Not counting the homeless and the occasional cave hermit, doesn't everyone lives at home?\" More Funny comments and tweets from Jeff, Who Lives at Home at Dacritics.org
I loved this little gem of a movie. It's well written, well directed, and acted and is intelligent, funny, meaningful, and NOT sexist, stupid or misogynistic; how refreshing and delightful to leave the theater without being pissed off at how women are portrayed. AND it passes the Bechdel test! I'm definitely going to see it again.

Graced with Susan Sarandon's radiant turn as Jeff's all-patient mother-enabler, this sweet but slight effort could modestly expand their audience beyond the slacker set to include middle-aged women. Full Review

The ending is also a test of the audience's openness to the kind of fantasy mocked, at the outset, by everyone in Jeff's life, including the filmmakers. They want to make us believe in something, though it's also possible that they are only fooling. Full Review

For the most part, this is a boys-will-be-boys movie that excuses everything its pair of protags do in the name of some sort of cosmic order. Full Review

Washington Post
With its shambling, felicitously contrived structure and Fellini-esque climax, it's some kind of Jungian slacker fable. Full Review

Los Angeles Times
The writing-directing brothers are usually interested in the small stuff of everyday, but perhaps they've gone a little too small here. Full Review
