Our Idiot Brother

Our Idiot Brother is about that one family member who is always just a little bit behind the curve. For Sisters Miranda (Banks), Natalie (Deschanel), and Liz (Mortimer), that person is their upbeat brother Ned (Rudd), an organic farmer, whose willingness to trust humankind allows for an oddly trouble-tree 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. (Gary Reber)
