Top 10 films of 2011: #3 – OUR IDIOT BROTHER

Jan 03 2012 Published by under Film

Ned (Paul Rudd) lives a happy life growing organic vegetables on a farm with his hippie girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn) and his dog named Willie Nelson, until an unadvised incident with marijuana at a farmer’s market lands him in jail.  When he gets out of jail, he is forced to live with his sisters Liz (Emily Mortimer), Natalie (Zooey Deschanel) and Miranda (Elizabeth Banks).

Look at that cast.  You add in Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Steve Coogan, and T.J. Miller and this film basically becomes one of my wet dreams.

So again, it’s an indie comedy, something that’s right up my alley, and it features a group containing some of my favourite actors and actresses.

Beyond that it’s simply a funny and somewhat touching story about a likeable good-natured guy with three messed up, self-absorbed sisters, who he’s able to positively affect when he stays with them against their wishes.  Not much more to it than that.

New poster for THE GOODS: LIVE HARD, SELL HARD

Wow, what a slow news day.  It’s seems that every piece of news today was either about some boring ass film I have absolutely no interest in or was about some actor/writer/director changing agencies.

Never mind, because here’s the first poster for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard.  As I stated before when I posted the red band trailer, this film looks f’ing awesome.
