Lakewood Public Cinema: Our Idiot Brother (2011) Directed by Jess Peretz

Ned isn't just another stoner and this isn't just another drug-addled comedy for the reality-impaired, despite what the trailers would have you believe. While it's true that our hero begins the story getting arrested in the friendliest, most cordial drug bust ever filmed, he goes down for all the right reasons. That’s because Ned believes in people and takes them at their word—a classic recipe for disaster. Forced to serve out his probation in the arms of his reluctant but loving family, he turns the lives of his successful sisters upside down, one after another, with his special brand of wide-eyed honesty and integrity. With genuine big heart and big laughs, Our Idiot Brother shows that sometimes the screw-up of the family is the wisest of them all… That said, forget about all that drama stuff. This movie is screamingly funny, too!
