妈妈的男人

After a holiday visit with his parents, Mikey is headed to the airport to return to his wife and newborn baby. Except he doesn’t board the plane. Instead he returns to his parents’ loft in lower Manhattan, back to his childhood room that has since been converted to storage. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he’s staying – his flight is delayed, his flight is cancelled. A day passes, and then another, and he calls home and work to say he can’t return just yet – his parents are getting old, his parents are ill, time is too short. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his artist father is suspicious. From afar, his confused wife grows increasingly unsettled. Meanwhile Mikey moves back into his room, digging out notebooks and mementos, calling on old friends. As the days go on he becomes more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, and comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was. --© Official Site

没什么大起大落的情节，看完译名为长不大的孩子之后找了半天才找到这里。意外地很多人喜爱这个故事。短暂逃离，有一瞬间突然什么也不想要了，远离巨大的心理负担回归儿童时代，本来不苟同，结果有人分析彼得潘症候群特点之后发现完全符合。可能主人公还算个正常社会人，而自己一直处于彼得潘状态，所以不理解突然逃离这件事吧。但是依然觉得选择安全舒适自己能力内的生活就好。一辈子长不大那就长不大吧，那也是一种资本，也有人羡慕。只是别出出进进忽冷忽热伤害他人。

“看着父母老去是件很难受的事情”在初为人父所面临的担当与责任在父母的家里试图回到未成家前的自由面对着镜子中无法接受的自己原来长大真的不是件开心的事情。

翻译成“长不大的孩子”倒是更准确。电影名涵盖主旨。剧情简单，刻画很细腻。看男主花式赖在爸妈家逃避家庭责任和社会压力。

电影题材独特，完成得相当好。只是对男主实在没有同情和共鸣，至于吗，还哭哭咧咧的。题外话，父母家装修原始，太独特了，怎么有那么多东西，像仓库一样。终于看到美国人穿秋裤了，看来不是中国独有。

不仅电影很文艺，连里面演父母的演员也显得很文艺......后来发现结果那对演员是导演的父母.....

This is what an independent film is!|尽管从头到尾都在回避Mike是在逃避什么问题，不过非常成功地展现出了Mike的困惑，最后才知道导演让自己的父母来演片中的父母角色

每个男人都会面对的亲情和责任的选择问题，熟悉的环境和所谓的责任，每个人都有脆弱的一面。

影片里的父母就是Azazel Jacobs自己的父母，父亲Ken是个著名的实验电影艺术家，还曾是Art Spiegelman的老师。取景也是在位于TriBeCa的他们居住的Loft里。

1.这个故事告诉我们，嫁给男文青是件很危险的事，尤其是当他全家都是文青的时候。2.最讨厌这种又面又娘白白胖胖的猥琐男了。
