Our Idiot Brother Trailer: You Cannot Make This Cast Less Hot with Beards, Bad Haircuts, and Hair Dye

OK, maybe a little less hot with Elizabeth Banks. That’s a really bad haircut. But don’t you love indie comedies and the way they actively attempt to make very glamorous-looking movie stars less glamorous with a little facial hair and some hair dye. I’m not fooled! There’s an adorable dude underneath all that facial hair, and no matter what you do to Elizabeth Banks’ hair, I’ll always know that she still has these legs:

Our Idiot Brother (formerly My Idiot Brother) debuted earlier this year at Sundance to generally warm reviews. It looks like it follows a typical indie feel-good formula, and that’s OK. It looks like a sweet, Saturday afternoon matinee kind of film, and I’ll take anything to erase the memory of Paul Rudd’s last movie, How Do We Know, from my memory. Plus, look! Steve Coogan.

Those are great legs, but that purple thing she's wearing looks like the frilly diapers they used to put on babies in the 1970s.

Those frills are a metaphor for ladyparts' natural covering gone horribly awry.

"This video no longer available due to a copyright claim by The Weinstein Company."

Really? On a trailer? That makes no sense. NO SENSE.

Also, are you sure that's not Parker Posey in that picture? Because I'm pretty sure it's Parker Posey. Which might explain why I never actually recognize Elizabeth Banks.

The link isn't working b/c of the Weinstein bros.

I'm really enjoying the coke bottle glasses on the ladies.

Rudd looks HOTTER with the beard and the hair. I love the lumberjack look.

Wow! I thought that was Parker Posey too.

I like a nice beard. And I don't mean Julianne Hough.

Well I was already turned on due to the legs. But now you go and throw diapers into the conversation?!?!

Fully. Engorged.

I like Elizabeth Banks' Betty Brant look just fine, but I like Elizabeth Banks just fine in general.

As for Rudd, he can do no wrong. If you carefully avoid a select few pieces of his filmography.

I thought it was Parker Posey too! I even said out loud, "THAT'S Elizabeth Banks?!" I'm glad I'm not the only one.

That's the thing -- it IS Parkey Posey. She dyes her hair blonde and does films under the pseudonym "Elizabeth Banks" so as not to lose her indie cred. Keanu Reeves often does the same thing, cleverly disguising himself as an armoire.

I really don't understand how sharing a trailer can be a copyright violation. The more people that see the trailer, the better. Of course, I'm trying to apply logical reasoning here to an industry that thinks a woman is over the hill when she hits 30.
