In her review for Entertainment Weekly, film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum wrote Our Idiot Brother is "a bouncy, bighearted comedy!" Newsday's Rafer Guzman described the film as "genuinely irresistible!" People magazine film critic, Alynda Wheat, proclaims "Paul Rudd is so funny you'll leave feeling high on humanity."
Paul Rudd stars in this witty and highly relatable comedy, Our Idiot Brother, about that one family member who is always just a little bit behind the curve. For sisters Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), Natalie ({PEpPKwuqub1Bsx||Zooey Deschanel)) and Liz (Emily Mortimer), that person is their upbeat brother Ned, an organic farmer, whose willingness to trust humankind allows for an oddly trouble-free existence. Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but he is their brother, and after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off the farm, his sisters must once again come to his rescue. As Miranda, Natalie and Liz each take turns at housing Ned, their brother's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines. But after seeing life through Ned's optimistic perspective, his family comes to realize that maybe Ned isn't such an idiot after all.
The Our Idiot Brother Blu-ray and DVD bonus features include an audio commentary with director Jesse Peretz; a "The Making of Our Idiot Brother" featurette; and deleted and extended scenes. Note: Special features are subject to change.

Sorry, Zooey. You're precious and all, but this movie STILL looks like garbage.
