Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011) by Bikerjames — 28 Aug 2011

As a rule of thumb, I like quirky movies. The ones that work best are over the top quirky (a la Little Miss Sunshine). I wish this movie would have taken it one step further into quirkiness. It was a little too serious at times with long stretches of no humor, but still held my interest.

I thought the best part of the movie were the scenes with Billy, played by T. J. Miller. He played the over the top stereotypical hippie to perfection. I wish the other characters were as over the top as he was and were as memorable.

I did like Paul Rudd in his role and overall the movie works, but could have been better.
