New Poster and Trailer for Our Idiot Brother

The first trailer for Our Idiot Brother debuted in April, which revealed a promising comedy from director Jesse Peretz (The Ex). The movie stars Paul Rudd as a hippie farmer with good intentions but still dim enough to sell marijuana to a police officer. Once he's released from jail, he is forced to live with his sisters (Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer) while he puts his life back together.

A new poster and trailer have debuted for Our Idiot Brother, which received excellent reviews when it debuted at Sundance earlier this year. The latest trailer uses some new footage, but is still fairly similar to the previous trailer. What this trailer does reveal is that there is some heart to the story outside of giving Rudd an opportunity to play a complete moron.

First Trailer for Our Idiot Brother Starring Paul Rudd

The first trailer for Our Idiot Brother (formerly My Idiot Brother) has been released online, making it the second well-reviewed 2011 Sundance Film Festival indie to get a theatrical trailer this week after Another Earth. Written by Evegenia Peretz and David Schisgall from a story by Evegenia and director Jesse Peretz, the movie stars Paul Rudd as Ned, an idealistic hippie with a sunny disposition who intrudes on the lives of his three sisters—career-oriented Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), bisexual hipster Natalie ( Zooey Deschanel) and perfect mother Liz (Emily Mortimer)—after getting out of jail to find that his girlfriend has dumped him.
