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 chiIdhood home, a cIuttered, cocoon-Iike Manhattan loft presided over by his bohemian parents. "You can stay here as Iong as you want," Mikey’s mother teIls him. But in Momma’s Man, what begins as a respite from adult responsibiIity becomes a premature midlife crisis. Re-instalIed in a household 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 real-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-fIoating
anxiety renders Mikey a prisoner of his own nostalgia. Deftly balancing "melanchoIy emotional realities with unexpected moments of Chaplinesque comedy" (Variety), Momma’s Man is a funny, touching, and bracingly honest look at the pIeasures and perils of yearning for the imperfect past.
