Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Richard Knight (277) for Knight at the Movies (62) on 24 Aug 2011

It's a whisper-thin conceit, stocked with characters and hipster situations just this side of stereotype, but there are enough knowing laughs,…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Mary F. Pols (536) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 24 Aug 2011

The movie crafted around Ned is a bit of a shaggy-dog story, struggling with the climax and coda, but the company is so pleasant and the cast…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 23 Aug 2011

I do wish the movie's ending weren't so squishy…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Una Lamarche (12) for New York Observer (1,400) on 23 Aug 2011

Mr. Rudd imbues Ned with an easy, charming sweetness and unpatronizing wisdom that make him seem simply guileless, not stupid…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Steve Persall (1,105) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 23 Aug 2011

Certainly amusing, but it never accelerates past one-note characters playing out separate personal crises in ways that aren't surprising…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Sam Adams (514) for Time Out (7,510) on 23 Aug 2011

Apart from the disastrously miscast Deschanel's dithering switch-hitter, the film's extended clan of uptight urbanites rings true - though…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 23 Aug 2011

The rest of the cast is fine, actually, but Rudd spares nothing in making Ned a lovable loser, with the emphasis on loser…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 Aug 2011

Rudd ably carries the film while retaining a light touch, though even with Rudd in the lead, it's still a featherweight trifle, an afternoon…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 23 Aug 2011

It's tame and rather bland, and the laughter it generates is half-hearted…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Variety (12,700) on 23 Aug 2011

Picture needs every ounce of goodwill it can wring from Rudd's likable lead performance to offset a sour, borderline misogynistic streak for…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Perri Nemiroff (375) for Shockya.com (657) on 23 Aug 2011

Undoubtedly flawed, but Peretz turns up the charm, bringing the best out of his cast and impressively honest, humorous and heartwarming dialogue…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Glenn Kenny (1,728) for MSN Movies (470) on 23 Aug 2011

While too overtly modest to be a comedy game-changer, [it] is almost sufficiently feisty and entertaining to render the term 'a Sundance movie…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Richard Roeper.com (322) on 23 Aug 2011

Our Idiot Brother kept me laughing throughout…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Armond White (604) for New York Press (561) on 23 Aug 2011

Usually movies this slick and contrived have a shiny, Hollywood look, but Our Idiot Brother's unslick look is dreadful…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 23 Aug 2011

A welcome feeling of familial reality, pulling laughs from a source of frustration viewers might be able to relate to…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Peter Keough (994) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 23 Aug 2011

Dostoevsky's version was better, if not as funny…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Aug 2011

Its roundelay of shallow types (played by beautiful movie stars) treating one another badly, and having whiny conversations about said treatment,…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Andrew Schenker (354) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Aug 2011

Shat makes Our Idiot Brother work is the endless appeal of watching Rudd's lovable idiot run roughshod over the sophisticated New York mini-universe…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for Indiewire (3,631) on 21 Aug 2011

Hiding behind a shaggy beard and a stoner grin, Paul Rudd plays an amusingly oblivious shlub in Our Idiot Brother, but the movie can't keep…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Ed Gonzalez (1,102) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Aug 2011
