A Movie Review: Our Idiot Brother

Our Idiot Brother. I don’t know if Ned (Paul Rudd) is so much an idiot versus having lost the gene for common sense. After getting tossed in jail for selling an on-duty police officer marijuana, Ned heads off to stay with family. He stays with his three sisters (Miranda – Elizabeth Banks, Natalie – Zooey Deschanel, Liz – Emily Mortimer). He stays first with one sister than the other and than the last, messing each of their lives up (or maybe not).

This movie is more about situations versus a storyline. Example being the scene that is already given away in the trailer, Ned is sitting down with his parole officer, Omar (Sterling K Brown), and mentions that he has recently smoked weed. There are enough of those situations that make you laugh to recommend this movie, but this definitely doesn’t rank up there with Bridesmaids or even Horrible Bosses.
