Jason Segel and Ed Helms play for laughs in "Jeff, Who Lives at Home"
- 12 years ago
Stars Jason Segel, Ed Helms and Susan Sarandon arrived on the red carpet Wednesday night (March 07) for the Los Angeles premiere of the comedy, "Jeff, Who Lives at Home."
The film tells the story of Jeff, A "slacker" played effortlessly by Segel, who leaves his basement room on an errand for his mother (Susan Sarandon), only to discover his possible destiny, adulthood, adultery and brotherhood, and not necessarily in that order.
While the film is a comedy, it's more "smart" than slapstick.
SOUNDBITE Jason Segel on being funny, saying (English):
"I think if you are thinking that it is working is that you are thinking to hard. My goal has always been to be very natural, I think you feel that in comedy or in drama, when someone is improving. When I see someone who knows that they are doing a good job, I lose interest."
Ed Helms co-stars as "Jeff's" brother, who has to deal with his wife having an affair. The film also stars Judy Greer.
"Jeff, Who lives at Home" opens on March 16.
