Our Idiot Brother is an enjoyable comedy thanks to its strong supporting cast and a terrific central performance from Paul Rudd.
January 10, 2013
Rudd can play the innocent as well as the snarky cynic, and that serves him wonderfully here.

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

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.
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.
August 26, 2011
Strange, then, how Our Idiot Brother wastes its lone asset -- there's not enough idiot, and far too many boring savants.
June 30, 2013
This inane comedy lives down to its title.

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

Dude, where's the movie?

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