Review: Rudd plays Ned, a stoner who has frizzled his neurons to the point that he has lost any ability to detect or dish out B.S. The poster child for what it means to be ingenuous, Ned is a trusting, playful, adorable stray puppy who isnt quite housebroken. So you-know-what hits the fan when his three sisters serially take him in after his release from jail. Hes nothing but tsuris. Its no wonder that his most enduring relationship is with his dog, Willie Nelson.
Thanks to Rudds everyman persona and the genial obliviousness he brings to Ned, you cant help but feel empathy. As with a suspense film where the audience knows whats going to happen but the characters are still in the dark, you want to yell out to warn Ned before he screws up again. His perfect comic timing and the made-to-order script make sure you get the most laughs from his predicament. Luckily, theres more to him than just bad luck. Hes also an endearing white angel on the shoulders of his sisters, helping them fight their devils as he becomes an unwitting catalyst for change.
The movies impressively talented and good-looking cast includes Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, and Elizabeth Banks (looking a lot like Parker Posey) as sisters. Whats more, Rashinda Jones and Hugh Dancy add to the already high eye-candy quotient. Steve Coogan plays Neds deliciously distasteful brother-in-law in his inimitable unpleasant-guy way.
A fun ride throughout, the film only has a couple of weak spots. One scene has Ned comfortably telling a white lie, something so out of character it was jolting to the point of distraction. The ending could use some reshaping, and perhaps it might get some before general release. But even as is, this movie is about as charming and hilarious as Rudd can be, which is quite sizable.
This flick was absolutely fantastic. Already seen it three times. Loved the comics and this was the most satisfying adaptation I’ve ever seen mixed with the directors personal charm and tweaks. Our Idiot Brother was just nice to watch and so fun to be a part of as an audience. LOVED IT.
amazing just what a great flick. I was heading to check out Our Idiot Brother in the movie theater but instead I watched it here for 100 % free
I agree with you on Our Idiot Brother – the first half hour of it was great, actually. tailed off a bit towards end but still a way better film than it should have been
The movie flick is worth it to watch. the motion picture is so awesome. It’s a strangely paced movie and suffers at times from surprisingly long exposition and poorly contrived story lines that seem to be added to no doubt cultivate the storyline rather than the picture story that I wanted to see.

Our Idiot Brother combines parts of Pocahontas and Braveheart having a liberal dose of Room Marines into an epic entire that requires just about 3 total hours to unfold. We could criticise that length, the weak story and also the hammy dialogue. We could attack its thinly-veiled ecological message or even the frankly bizarre spirituality in its second 50 percent but honestly practically nothing can spoil the expertise even while you happen to be enveloped in it. As well as a substantial aspect of that is definitely down towards brilliant use of 3D – which can be both subtle and amazingly helpful. Til now, we are actually generating films with 3D components, Avatar is definitely the primary unquestionably 3D movie and could possibly nicely prove that they are 1 in the most considerable points to come about to blockbuster film-making considering that Our Idiot Brother.
The film Our Idiot Brother is worth it to view. the Our Idiot Brother is so cool. It’s a strangely paced film and suffers at times from very long exposition and poorly contrived story lines that seem to be added to no doubt develop the storyline rather than the Our Idiot Brother story that I wanted to see.
