Two estranged brothers revive their childhood competitions, much to the alarm of their families in this Duplass brothers' microbudget throwback.
Jeff, Who Lives at Home. John may come off as a hapless, borderline desperate guy whose life is in a definite tailspin, but Reilly, by bringing his personal weight to the equation, lets us know there is a core of value in John just waiting to be awakened and embraced.
Her life is complicated, she says, and though John nods when he hears this, he has no idea just what that means. When you throw in that Molly both raised and home-schooled Cyrus all by herself and that he still lives at home with no sign of leaving, you have a situation where mother and son are closer and more attached to each other than a whole lot of married couples. A kind of overweight sphinx, Cyrus proves to be intriguingly difficult for John, and audiences, to get a handle on.
And it gets worse. Is Cyrus trying to break up the lovers? Is John over his head in a comic psychodrama not of his own choosing? And will not soon forget. Marisa Tomei has the trickiest role here. She is also very sexy, so you can understand that a boy the age of Cyrus but not her son would be attracted.
That avoids possible eww moments. Now here is a film that uses very good actors and gives them a lot of improvisational freedom to talk their way into, around and out of social discomfort. It understand they have their difficulties and hopes they find a way to work things out.
