When Jeff Tried to Save the World
The story is about a man named Jeff, who is the manager of Bowling Hall called Winky World. Every day, Jeff is the first to arrive and the last to leave, where he seems to master his work as a manager. In the end, when Jeff discovers that the owner (Jim O'Heir) has a plan to sell the bowling alley, this comfortable life may slip away from his hands and try to find a way to save Winkie's world from destruction and perhaps save himself from the bottom.

Not only has writer-director Kendall Goldberg fleshed out this excellent main character, she guides it through this plot with a matching sense imagination and earnestness.

Occasionally the dialogue can be too on-the-nose... yet Goldberg's utter disinterest in condescension is precisely what makes her movie so lovable.

Led by the performance of Jon Heder, When Jeff Tried to Save the World is inspiring in the ways it teaches us that change is still okay even if we don't like it.
