Everybody has one

Everybody has one—the sibling who is always just a little bit behind the curve when it comes to getting his life together. For sisters Liz, Miranda and Natalie, that person is their perennially upbeat brother, Ned. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realise that Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

Really good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This has a fantastic cast of characters. Paul Rudd leads excellently, but the rest of the cast is so good that he doesn't have to carry the movie. Too often the lead overpowers the presence of other actors. It helps that he is playing a doofy character. This story is just as complicated as real life, but as ridiculous as it is, it's not believeable enough to break the immersion. The story is written as multi-threaded in a great way. Ned is a great every man, and an embodiment of purity. His only real flaw is wanting to be good and just. It's a charming story of the turbulences of life, filled with great acting and plenty of good humor.
