"Our Idiot Brother"

Based on the title of this movie, I had pretty low expectations. I figured it would be something along the lines of "Dumb and Dumber." But was I pleasantly surprised. The film stars Paul Rudd who plays, you guessed it, the idiot brother. He plays Ned, an organic farmer who lives with his hippy wife and Willie Nelson, his beloved dog. When he unwittingly sells a joint to a cop, he ends up in jail. When he gets out he lives with his three sisters. Ned's problem is he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, which gets him in trouble with each of his sisters. Ultimately, he means well, and without being too much of a spoiler, everything works out well in the end. If you're up for some good laughs, don't miss this one.
4 out of 5 stars.
