Our Idiot Brother (2011)

Paul Rudd's performance in "Our Idiot Brother" was as honest as it was sweet. This film may not be everybody's cup of tea, but the emotion at its core makes this comedy more like the films of Alexander Payne than the improv comedy films we've come to know Rudd for. With a strong supporting cast, especially the three sisters, backing him, and a script that keeps you interested, this was another surprise in a year already full of them.
