NY Times has released the trailer for Momma;s Man.
A grown man locked into an extended state of arrested adolescence returns to the nest while concocting a series of excuses as to why he cannot return to his wife and child in this existential comedy drama from filmmaker Azazel Jacobs. Mikey was preparing to board an airplane bound for California when he suddenly found himself fleeing from the airport and returning to the comfort of his parents' New York home. Even Mikey isn't sure exactly why he made the snap decision not to go home, all he knows is that he can't quite muster the courage to go back and assume the responsibilities of your typical family man. Of course Mikey's doting mother is more than happy to enable her son's indecision - and his father remains as emotionally distanced as ever - but as time goes on the grown-up man-child finds it increasingly difficult to make the choose between going back to reality, or drifting ever further into his second adolescence. watch
Azazel Jacobs MOMMA S MAN chronicles the increasingly anxious dilemma of Mikey (Matt Boren), a young husband and father who stops off at his parents loft during a business trip to New York and finds himself emotionally unable to leave. One of the most acclaimed films of this year's Sundance Film Festival, Jacobs' third feature is both a tribute to his parents (avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs and painter Flo Jacobs, who play Mikey s mother and father) and an acutely perceptive, slyly humorous take on a universal experience: the fear of growing up. watch
