Movie Haiku:What starts as a dumb slacker comedy morphs into something magical in the hands of this expert cast, & by the end we were all aglow. Duplass Brothers are on their way to becoming the new Coen Brothers--setting quirky, well-observed characters in real places. In this case "Jeff" (played to perfection by Segel) discovers his inner mensch on his mother''s birthday.
