Today, Alliance Films’ releases the charming film Our Idiot Brother on DVD.  Starring Paul Rudd in the title role, it works with a strong cast, sharp script, and genuine heart.  We reviewed the film when it opened on August 26th, and our overall consensus was:

“With strong performances from an ensemble cast that is fronted by excellent leading work from Paul Rudd, Our Idiot Brother is a surprisingly smart comedy with a heart of gold, that delivers a lot of big laughs along with an honest protagonist who genuinely sees the best in everyone around him.  ***1/2 (Out of 4)”

The DVD includes feature commentary with director Jesse Peretz, deleted and extended scenes, and a ‘Making of Our Idiot Brother’ featurette.

Our Idiot Brother is 90 minutes, and is rated 14A.
