"Nothing like two dudes and a dog making candles." It's a shame that Paul Rudd isn't a star on the level of Jonah Hill or Seth Rogen - he's a really great actor, as this film clearly points out. Funny, fresh, and - most importantly - extremely upbeat, Our Idiot Brother is one of those films that keeps you smiling throughout, without being enormously cliched or heavy-handed. You find yourself rooting for the main character right away, since he's just an awesome guy who's in some not-so-awesome situations. For God's sake, he gets thrown in jail because he sells pot to a police officer. And he knows the guy is a cop - he's in full uniform! And then he gets released from jail early because he was such a swell guy. That's the kind of movie this is - a really sweet film. Rudd means well, and he helps his sisters in his own special way - even if they don't know that he's really helping.
Rating: 92/100
