I have to confess, I don't think Jon Heder is much of a comedic actor outside the role of Napoleon Dynamite. And don't get me wrong, that is a hilarious character. But I have little faith in his ability to branch out. Thankfully, his next project Mama's Boy finds him surrounded by some great actors which I think is what Heder needs to reach his comedic potential.

Heder plays 29-year-old Jeffrey who lives with his mother Jan (Diane Keaton) and depends on her for everything. When she gets a new boyfriend (Jeff Daniels, hilariously), a bit of a rivalry is sparked between the two men vying for Jan's attention. Luckily for Jan, Jeffrey might find some romance of his own in the form of cute barista Nora (Anna Faris). The film opens Thanksgiving, so to check out the pretty funny trailer, read more

Well, Jon Heder was pretty good in "Just Like Heaven." As for Anna Faris, well, she always plays the same ditsy character.

Jon Heder is so one dimensional. He was great in Napoleon but I don't see him going anywhere new...

this seems like a stupid funny movie I could watch. I like both actors but I agree laneylaney.

They both seem to be stereotyped.

All I see are his teeth. And his teeth make me think of Napoleon Dynamite. I feel bad for the guy, he seems talented... but he will always be that character to me.

I'm with mamaseacat in regards to Jon Heder. I think he stole all the scenes in "Just Like Heaven." I thought he was believable, hilarious, and sweet. I don't really believe he has been in a vehicle that truly shows his talent.
