In their latest film, the Duplass brothers give us an unconventionally positive view of the expanding generation of overgrown adults who still live with their parents
Grownup children still living with their parents get a pretty bad press. In Britain and America they're labelled "Kippers" (Kids In Parents' Pockets Eroding Retirement Savings) or "Yuckies" (Young Unwitting Costly Kids). In Australia it's "Slops" (Singles Living Off Parents). In Italy it's "Bamboccioni" (Big Babies). The Japanese are even less delicate: their "parasaito shinguru" translates as "Parasite Singleton".
Still, the implication that these cuckoos in the nest are cramping their hosts' lifestyle seems not without foundation. Surveys suggest that parents are having to sell their cars, remortgage their homes or postpone retirement to support their boomerang offspring. All the same, the beneficiaries of such sacrifice have plenty of gripes of their own. They bemoan their lack of privacy, dignity, autonomy and somewhere seemly to shag.
