This inane comedy lives down to its title.

Strange, then, how Our Idiot Brother wastes its lone asset -- there's not enough idiot, and far too many boring savants.

Dude, where's the movie?

Makes you want to go home and turn on your television.

If plot-wise there isn't all that much new being cooked up here, the invaluable, endlessly creative Rudd's interactions with a gallery of terrific actors carry the day.

Rudd brings color and dimension to a borderline-simpleton schlub who could have easily become a one-note cliché.

It's rare that summer ends on as sweet a note as Our Idiot Brother.

... a film that largely earns its laughs honestly.

Rudd can play the innocent as well as the snarky cynic, and that serves him wonderfully here.
August 26, 2011
Even the usually likable Rudd can't do much with the enigmatic Ned, who often behaves exactly in the idiotic manner he's accused of.

Our Idiot Brother is an enjoyable comedy thanks to its strong supporting cast and a terrific central performance from Paul Rudd.
August 26, 2011
The cast members, beginning with Rudd, have an improvisatory ease, and the director, Jesse Peretz, working from a script by Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall, doesn't indulge in the sort of nail-on-the-head comedy that currently reigns.
