Our Idiot Brother
(2011)
Directed by Jesse
Peretz this film stars Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel
and Emily Mortimer. Three sisters obsessed with their own lives try
to deal with their laid back brother who sees the best in everyone
and has recently been released from jail.
There is not much
original or subtle about the plot of this film but what could have
easily been a heavy handed, overly sentimental film is handled really
well. What the film gets by on is a level of charm that gently draws
you in. It really helps that the film has a great supporting cast
with Steve Coogan in particular stealing more than one scene.
3/5
