The Gist: This chronicles a day in the life of two brothers, one a loser Jeff (Jason Segel) who lives at home and the other (Ed Helms) more together but overbearing.

Cast: Jason Segel, Judy Greer, Susan Sarandon, Katie Aselton and Ed Helms
List Worthy Reasons…: Specialists of a comedy that is both affecting and discomforting, in 2011, the Duplass Bros.’ should be a double bearing of fruit type year as they have The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, which appears closer to their indie/mumblecore no-budget beginnings and they must now be past the post-production phase with this project which features name talent and has a studio backing the project and will likely draw comparisons to their excellent foray into “bigger” budgets with Cyrus.
Release Date/Status?: Paramount might want to pick a summer date for the comedy.
