With a few hints of comedy, Jeff is mainly a character piece that depends largely on the goofy charisma of it's leads, Jason Segel and Ed Helms. The Duplass Brothers have always been ones to focus on the smaller moments in life to build a story and with this style of film-making it almost works if not for the feeling like it's been over-polished. It's still sweet, realistic and genuinely funny but something isn't quite right here. While it passes the time by quite nicely, it's just as forgettable as well.
