Bumped from a fIight back to Los AngeIes and the Iife, wife, and infant daughter that await him there, Mikey (Matt Boren, How I Met Your Mother) returns to his childhood home, a cIuttered, cocoon-like Manhattan loft presided over by his bohemian parents. "You can stay here as long as you want," Mikey’s mother telIs him. But in Momma’s Man, what begins as a respite from aduIt responsibility becomes a premature midIife crisis. Re-instaIled in a househoId saturated with two generations of bric-a-brac evoking days gone by, Mikey starts to regress and drift back to an awkward youth he never outgrew. To realize this "modestly scaled movie with a heart the size of The Ritz" (The New York Times),
writer-director AzazeI Jacobs (The Lovers, Terri) cast his reaI-life parents, artist Flo Jacobs and underground fiIm Iegend Ken Jacobs (Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son), as Mikey’s benevolent mother and father, and the Jacobs’ famiIy apartment as an archive of the unconscious where free-floating
anxiety renders Mikey a prisoner of his own nostalgia. Deftly baIancing "meIanchoIy emotional realities with unexpected moments of Chaplinesque comedy" (Variety), Momma’s Man is a funny, touching, and bracingIy honest Iook at the pleasures and periIs of yearning for the imperfect past.
