As long as you keep your expectations reasonable, this is a pleasant enough way to while away an hour-and-a-half. Paul Rudd turns in an enjoyable performance as Ned, the eponymous idiot brother. Cluelessly oblivious, yet affable and oddly charming, Ned wanders through the film naively screwing up his sisters' lives as well as his own. It's not a knee-slappingly hilarious movie, but it is funny and droll.
This film is very similar to another recent one, "Jeff, Who Lives at Home," starring Jason Segel. The main characters are nearly identical. Segel and Rudd, of course, starred in "I Love You, Man," one of the best comedies in recent years.
There's not a lot to say about a movie like this without getting into spoiler territory. It's a light comedy, but with some situations and dialogue that mean you should watch it after the kids are in bed. I'll give it a 7.
