    “Our Idiot Brother” Movie Review

    – – Paul Rudd (as Ned) is really not an idiot.  He is an innocent child-like man who puts his faith in other people, hoping that the best in them will come out if given the chance.  He is honest to a fault…and he loves Willie Nelson. Trusting a local cop who asks to buy…
