Our Idiot Brother

What I liked about the film is that there is a very good cast. I think all the women in the film are terrific actors.

A pleasant-enough trifle that ensnares itself in the uneasy middle ground between indie drama and dumb-guy comedy.

Rudd brings color and dimension to a borderline-simpleton schlub who could have easily become a one-note clich.

It provides a pleasant buzz while it unfolds but vanishes quickly in a puff of smoke.

Strange, then, how Our Idiot Brother wastes its lone asset -- there's not enough idiot, and far too many boring savants.

It's rare that summer ends on as sweet a note as Our Idiot Brother.

...a pervasively enjoyable piece of work that fares better than the majority of contemporary comedies.

Rudd’s performance and the lighthearted laughs make this an easygoing comedy, one whose laid-back protagonist and casual vibe are easily consumed, enjoyed, and fondly remembered.

Consistently pleasant, humorous, and agreeable, with plenty of supporting roles inhabited by well-known character actors.

There isn't a weak link in the cast.
