Red band trailers are the Movieline reader's one-stop shop for swear words, PG nudity, and otherwise offensive dialogue. They're the Costco of cusses. In the new red band trailer for the pleasant-seeming Our Idiot Brother (read the Movieline review here), Paul Rudd befuddles his parole officer, interrupts some schtupping, and survives the cutting commentary of his sister Elizabeth Banks. It's all very red, you know?
I'm guessing this will contain the same amount of laughs as Horrible Bosses, the summer's other completely literal comedy title. Like Bosses, it employs vulgarity to a certain degree, but it mainly amps up the outrageousness of its characters for the biggest payoff. I'm wary of Elizabeth Banks as a pill and Zooey Deschanel in goofy, cutesy roles, but I'd be surprised if this turned out to be, say, less than enjoyable. In fact, I'd prefer it be really fucking enjoyable.
VERDICT: Sold.
