OUR IDIOT BROTHER, A LOSER
If you are looking for a comedy that has a lot of laughs and surprising situations, Our Idiot Brother fails to deliver. Opening late in the summer wasn’t a good idea since the film comes on the heels of a fairly good year for human humor.

You don’t have to be Goth to enjoy, just a sense of humor and a need to feed your bloody thirst for a good horror movie.
