| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...one of the most entertaining, laugh-out-loud funny, and unexpectedly touching efforts to come around in quite some time... |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallIt's a movie that grows on you, after grating your nerves while viewing it. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWhat might catch you by surprise is how warm and endearing this affable comedy is, and how soul-stirring Jeff's silly revelations turn out to be. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreJeff, Who Lives at Home takes the Duplass Brothers' art to a new, deeper place. Credit the cast or the characters tripping through well-worn situations and relationships, but this is far and away their best movie. |
| Houston PressLuke Y. ThompsonThe good-naturedness of the humor tided me over just fine, but should you pay for a big-screen viewing? Unless you love close-ups of the streets of Baton Rouge, DVD or cable will be fine. |

| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanIt's exactly the sort of movie that is just perfect for the big-hearted Segel, and his very talented co-stars. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyAn amusing diversion with some hefty but lightly played thematic elements. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen Whitty"Jeff, Who Lives at Home" is [the Duplass brothers'] best yet. |
