I think this looks funny…:)
Our Idiot Brother: Often typecast as a clean-cut funnyman, Paul Rudd tries happy hippie sweetheart (a kind of Lebowski) on for size, and it’s genius. Fresh from behind bars (selling weed to a cop can apparently do that), naive Ned squats from one sister’s abode to the next, creating a string of mishaps (cue resolution with neatly tied bow), while hoping to rekindle his relationship with Willie Nelson (a.k.a. his pup). Some call Jesse Peretz’s Sundancer cookie-cutter, but smart comedy with heart is brilliant in our book.
It’s like: Dumb and Dumber meets Touched by an Angel.
Take: The Dude. And Smarties.
