This is not a great movie but I had a good time watching it, so I guess in the end that makes it an entertaining watch and that it was. This movie kind of reminded me of Forest Gump - only much better as this movie seemed to know what it was where as Forest Gump I've always felt seemed really confused about itself.
The main reason I saw this movie is because Paul Rudd is in it. I've always liked him as an actor and he does a great job here playing a simple man who doesn't want to get bogged down with the complexities of life. Along the way we meet his three sisters and get to see their vastly different personalities and lifestyles as they compare to their brother.
Ultimately it's the interconnecting of these relationships that dominates this movie and what makes it an enjoyable watch. Paul Rudd commands as the "Idiot Brother" but it was a good idea of the producers of this movie to tag-team him up with three really good actresses who compliment Rudd's performance in spades. It's their chemistry on screen is the guiding force of this movie and they all step up to the challenge. Even the side characters are played by some really good actors - not great actors but really good supporting actors the completely help to move the story along as well as adding to the already seasoned chemistry of everyone else in the movie.
All in all it was a good watch.
