Our Idiot Brother Contest
Paul Rudd
stars in this witty and highly relatable comedy, OUR IDIOT BROTHER,
about that one family member who is always just a little bit behind the
curve. For sisters Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), Natalie (Zooey Deschanel)
and Liz (Emily Mortimer), that person is their upbeat brother Ned, an
organic farmer, whose willingness to trust humankind allows for an oddly
trouble-free existence. Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but
he is their brother, and after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him
off the farm, his sisters must once again come to his rescue. As
Miranda, Natalie and Liz each take turns at housing Ned, their brother's
unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their
comfortable routines. But after seeing life through Ned’s optimistic
perspective, his family comes to realize that maybe Ned isn't such an
idiot after all.
In her review
for Entertainment Weekly, film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum wrote OUR IDIOT
BROTHER is “a bouncy, bighearted comedy!” Newsday’s Rafer Guzman
described the film as “genuinely irresistible!” People magazine film
critic, Alynda Wheat, proclaims “Paul Rudd is so funny you’ll leave
feeling high on humanity.”
