Our Idiot Brother- I really enjoyed this movie. The performances were nice and natural all around, the story was interesting all the way through, and the film had a nice thesis message. Despite being a bit generic, this film goes above and beyond in making up for Jesse Peretz's earlier directorial effort, 'The Ex'. Paul Rudd puts on one of my favorite performances by him and the film just has a nice heartfelt tone. Even though a few of the concluding scenes felt a bit forced and overly happy, it didn't really hurt my overall impression of the film. I would recommend this for a nice warm feeling on a rainy day.
