Official Synopsis : Every family 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 (Emily Mortimer), Miranda (Elizabeth Banks) and Natalie (Zooey Deschanel), that person is their perennially upbeat brother Ned (Paul Rudd), an erstwhile organic farmer whose willingness to rely on the honesty of mankind is a less-than-optimum strategy for a tidy, trouble-free existence. Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but he is their brother and so, after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off the farm, his sisters once again come to his rescue. As Liz, Miranda and Natalie each take a turn at housing Ned, their brother's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realize that maybe, in believing and trusting the people around him; Ned isn't such an idiot after all.
Genre: Comedy
What to Expect : Warm and fuzzy comedy dressed in the R-rated cloth of a raunchy flick. Paul Rudd's humor is usually outlandish, so expect nothing less from both Rudd and the rest of the ensemble cast. It's a love it or hate it comedy.
Critical Response : Mixed to positive. Critics enjoyed the movie mainly because of the great ensemble cast and Paul Rudd in particular. While most critics agreed that the movie lacks subtlety and is a bit too familiar, it makes up for it in wit and charm. Rated 68% on Rottentomatoes.com from 47 positive and 22 negative reviews.
