I like some elements of this a lot, especially Susan Sarandon's side plot, and I love Judy Greer and Jason Segel. Jeff's general aimlessness sometimes makes the film also feel aimless to me though, and then my attention drifts.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently absurd one-day odyssey where a basement-dwelling slacker and his anxious brother stumble toward self-awareness through small moments and chance encounters. It's a film about finding meaning in the mundane, shot through with warmth and deadpan humor.
