Paul Rudd's Stone-Cold Silly in Our Idiot Brother

As an idealist just out of jail, he just can't help but make life harder for his sisters

Paul Rudd is an idiot...onscreen, mind you.

In Our Idiot Brother, Rudd plays a lovable stoner who moves back home with his mom after going to jail for selling drugs to a police officer. (Not an undercover police officer, mind you, but a fully uniformed one.)  And while his mother is supportive, his sisters, Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks and Zooey Deschanel aren't as welcoming.

But hey, every family has that one sibling whose life misadventures create nothing but headaches for everyone around him. At least now we can just watch and laugh as it happens to other people.

Our Idiot Brother hits theaters August 26.

WATCH NOW! Rudd dishes on the fantastic life of being a movie star
