Jon Heder stars in trailer for When Jeff Tried to Save the World

November 28, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

With a little over a week to go until its VOD release, a poster and trailer have arrived online for director Kendall Goldberg’s upcoming comedy When Jeff Tried to Save the World which sees Napoleon Dynamite star Jon Heder leading a cast that also includes Brendan Meyer, Anna Konkle, Maya Erskine, Candi Milo, Steve Berg, and Jim O’Heir; take a look here…

Jeff (Jon Heder) is the manager of an old-school bowling alley called Winky’s World. Everyday he is the first to arrive and the last to leave. He has memorized the shoe sizes of community regulars and the quirks of his fellow employees. Routine is Jeff’s middle name, and it’s up to him to keep everything and everyone in order. When Jeff’s boss Sheila (Candi Milo) tells him that her soon-to-be ex-husband Carl (Jim O’Heir) is selling Winky’s, he takes matters into his own hands. While keeping this plan on a need to know basis, Jeff also struggles to hide Winky’s World from his family who, for years, believed Jeff was putting his computer engineering degree to use. With little help from the other employees, Jeff is forced to face the reality that his life as he knows it may slip out of his grip. A secret hidden within the walls of the building may be exactly what it takes to keep the ball rolling when the lanes begin to look more like a maze than ever before.
