My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Jim, Who Lives At Home (2011)

This film is about leaps of faith and it's as inspiring as it is funny.   Jason Segal plays Jim, a slacker on the verge of a discovery: his destiny.  It starts with a wrong number and continues when he bumps into his brother, a grounded Ed Helms, while out to buy wood glue to repair a door for his mother, played by Susan Sarandon in her best role in a long time.  Written and directed by brothers Mark and Jay Duplass, you can sense their insight with brotherly love helped shape this story.  I can't recommend this film enough, it's a joyful and funny film that needs to find a larger audience.  Grade: A
