Everybody has one—the sibling who is always just a little bit behind the curve when it comes to getting his life together. For sisters Liz, Miranda and Natalie, that person is their perennially upbeat brother, Ned. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realise that Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

fresh:
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.

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

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

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