A Friends Review, "Jeff Who Lives At Home".

 I have a friend who recently wrote a brief review on the movie "Jeff Who Lives at Home" and she gave me more than just a review, but what she took from it personally, a view inside her her own mind accompanied with the film.  I thoroughly enjoyed this and told her I'll share this with everyone who wishes to read it on my blog.  Enjoy the write:

"I recently watched “Jeff Who Lives at Home,” a movie with Jason Segal and Ed Helms. It’s a comedy about a 30-something-year-old guy living in his mother’s basement, smoking weed all day and doing nothing productive with his life. This, of course, leads the people in his life to view him as pretty much worthless. In the end, though, he teaches everyone that maybe there is more to life than reaching the societal standard of what it means to be productive and successful. He believes in signs, in the universe, in the kindness of strangers, in finding your own happiness. Even though he has nothing to his name and no friends, he sees this beauty in the world and believes there’s so much more to life than money, material things, work, etc. I think everyone thinks this to a certain extent, but we shove it under the rug of our mind, our soul. We leave those personal, spiritual, emotional thoughts and questions in the back of our mind to ponder only in our rare moments of solitude and in times of sudden loss and reflection. It’s understandable why we choose to do this—it’s quite overwhelming to add those concerns to the pile of concerns life throws at our feet daily. Bills, gas, politics, relationships, work, family—when do you have time to focus on anything else? But if you’re not careful, that is what your life can end up being—monotonous days, one after another, simply working to get by, squeezing in a little time for social interactions or exercise/hobbies. And then one day you wake up and ask, “What am I doing? What is my life? Who am I? Is this what I really want?” Start asking yourself these questions now; make time to discover yourself. Every day is a new opportunity; embrace it."
