Our Idiot Brother

Everybody has one

A genial but not very bright organic farmer goes to jail for selling dope to a cop. When he gets out, he finds that his girlfriend has a new boyfriend and he is out on the street. After living with his mom for a while, he shacks up one at a time with his three sisters. He does not really fit in with their bizarre lifestyles, but while trying to sort out his own life, he provides insights that helps them sort out their lives too.

ScreenIt C. Fuchs Like its protagonist, the film isn't sharp either. Instead, it's dull, bland and forgettable.	8
