Our Idiot Brother




"You know, he's just a little boy. Little boys fight. Doesn't mean he's going to grow up to be a frat-boy rapist!"

The lovable and talented Paul Rudd plays 2011's comedy/drama 'Our Idiot Brother'. Written and Directed by Jesse Peretz, he was able to secure a star cast to join in the fun, with hilarious Elizabeth Banks, innocent-eyed Zooey Deschanel, sultry Rashida Jones, and English-rose Emily Mortimer to name a few; they played the roles of 'Ned's' sisters who all have their own ideas of how life should be. Ned's idea although idiotic at times always came from a place of love and respect.

Tragedy and misfortune play a big part in bringing in the laughs throughout this film, as well as with the pleura of comic characters our stars interact with. We all wish we could live a wonderful life growing organic vegetables and fruits and live with our beautiful dog but life always has other plans!

With a budget of an estimated $5 million USD, this 90 minute film managed to bring in $24 million USD in a short 3 months. Great comic timing, pain, and shaggy yellow dogs named Willie Nelson that tug on your heart-strings is a recipe for sure success!
