Paramount Vantage has released the first trailer for Jeff, Who Lives at Home, the latest from Jay and Mark Duplass (Cyrus).  Jason Segel stars as the titular character searching for the meaning of life: "A series of comedic and unexpected events leads him to cross paths with his family in the strangest of locations and circumstances." As expected, the movie looks excellent. Segel has been poised for a breakout dramatic role for a while now, and he looks expertly cast in this "dramedy" from the immensely talented Duplass duo. Ed Helms seems to be in fine form as Segel's slightly more successful brother, and the two have their fair share of dramatic and comedic moments. I'm very encouraged by what this trailer shows of Segel's performance, and I can't wait to see more.

The film also stars Judy Greer and Susan Sarandon. Jeff, Who Lives at Home is scheduled for release on March 2, 2012.  Watch the trailer after the jump.
