Our Idiot Brother

Unconditional love anchors this lackluster, uneven, unrealistic, star-studded (Shirley Knight, Kathryn Hahn, T. J. Miller, and Polly Draper) comedy in which a naïve, upbeat, optimistic slacker (Paul Rudd) gets released from prison for selling dope to a New York City cop (Bob Stephenson) and then causes problems for his dysfunctional sisters, including a frazzled housewife (Emily Mortimer) whose cheating filmmaker husband (Steve Coogan) is having an affair with a Russian ballet dancer (Lydia Haug), a bisexual standup comedian (Zooey Deschanel) who angers her attorney lover (Rashida Jones) when she becomes pregnant by an artistic painter (Hugh Dancy), and an ambitious magazine writer (Elizabeth Banks) who falls for her sexy neighbor (Adam Scott), when he takes turns mooching off of them and bunking at their homes.
