The lead in Our Idiot Brother is a really dumb hippie, like there is any other kind. A comedy of a stereotypical hippie (dumb as a bag of hammers) who inadvertently helps his sisters to solve some issues in their lives.
That’s it, that’s the entire plot. But through some very smart writing, this movie is much better than expected. Let’s face it, watching a dumb hippie is like driving past a car crash, it’s hard to take your eyes off, because everything about it is so surreal and extreme. But unlike a car crash you’ll grin a good part of the way through.
