Patton Oswalt and Johnny Knoxville to Play Brothers in Untitled Comedy

Deadline reports, “Knoxville and Oswalt will play battling brothers who attempt to honor their ailing father by taking a troop of boys on a camping trip. It all goes awry.” As long as it’s no one says “It’s in the vein of Bushwhacked!” I’ll be happy. The flick’s also got a solid supporting cast featuring Rob Riggle, Maura Tierney, and Patrice O’Neal. Rohal wrote the script under the title Scout Master. Filming begins this week.

Review: ‘Our Idiot Brother’ A Breezy, But Uneven Attempt To Replicate The Judd Apatow Touch > The Playlist

Because while “Our Idiot Brother” is flawed, it’s also easily and effortlessly entertaining. Ensemble casts don’t get much better than this, and they often elevate the film; a lesser cast would’ve made its weaknesses all the more apparent. Rudd’s charm goes a long, long way in making the multi-threaded story a breeze to navigate. But its pleasures are temporary and fleeting, and the ultimate moral—about being honest with yourself and those around you—is rather facile and something that we would expect from a movie like “I Don’t Know How She Does It” (which trailed before the film) rather than from a film that boasts the kind of talent that can take comic material to unexpected places. And perhaps that’s the biggest disappointment with “Our Idiot Brother”—it never takes the risks the you want it to and in playing it safe, it locks up its true potential. [B-]

Review: What Idiots Messed Up a Promising 'Our Idiot Brother'? | The Wrap Movies

From the poster, you might think “Our Idiot Brother” has all the elements for a great comedy -- Paul Rudd starring as a sweet, stoned doofus, opposite a cast of hilarious heavyweights like Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan, Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones and Adam Scott.

But something went wrong along the way -- while the film does offer its share of zingy one-liners and entertaining character moments, the final result is a movie that can’t decide if it wants to be snarkily sweet or mean and misanthropic.

Not sure if this is Comedy/Drama or what...

Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson together again at last! The Rum Diary trailer is great!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. As a die hard of Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and of Johnny Depp's approach at adapting the auto-biographical characters of Hunter S. Thompson, I am so ready to see The Rum Diary.

It's been in the can for a while and that has lead to some speculation that it isn't very good. Now, we finally see a trailer and I can't say anything about the finished film, but the trailer itself is pretty damned exciting.

I mean, Depp has his Thompson voice on, which automatically makes me partial to the trailer and then the craziness of the bits and pieces we see leads me to think just maybe the film will end up being close to the same crazy fun universe glimpsed in Fear and Loathing.

ET has the trailer, embedded below!

Capone says OUR IDIOT BROTHER is a charming, perfect way to end a summer of mostly great R-rated comedies!!!

OUR IDIOT BROTHER is a celebration of messed-up families that care enough about each other to sweep aside the bull**** to help one another. It's the best movie of the week for sure, and a great way to close out an unusually strong summer of R-rated comedies. And if you tell me OUR IDIOT BROTHER didn't do it for you, I'll kick your ass from here to Peoria. Now go see it.

Nordling Says OUR IDIOT BROTHER Is Funny And Sweet!

OUR IDIOT BROTHER is one of those quiet comedies that gets ignored while louder, more obnoxious films take center stage. But Jesse Peretz (who worked with Paul Rudd before in THE CHATEAU) deftly manages all the plots and subplots into a cohesive whole. OUR IDIOT BROTHER is a minor key kind of film, one that could easily slip through the cracks among other Hollywood properties. But Paul Rudd's performance is nuanced, subtle, and yet still hilariously funny, and he's worth the price of admission alone. Rudd is one of our finest comedic actors, and he's a treat in OUR IDIOT BROTHER.

Anybody see this yet? I'm tempted to because of the cast, but it looked kind of lame...

Rachel Boston Joins IT’S A DISASTER

Rachel Boston (In Plain Sight) will fill the final slot in the ensemble cast of the indie comedy It’s a Disaster. The story centers on “four couples who meet for Sunday brunch, only to find themselves stranded in a house together as the world may be about to end.” Julia Stiles, America Ferrera, Laura Adkin, Todd Berger, Kevin M. Brennan, Jeff Grace, Blaise Miller play the other seven members of the group. According to THR, Boston will play “a whip-smart wildcard named Lexi Kivel.” That’s a pretty great character name—combine that with the gleefully surrealist premise, and I’m hooked.

In addition to his starring role, Berger wrote the script, and will direct the production next month in Los Angeles.
