I don't even know why this movie exists. It's not funny, it doesn't have anything prescient to say, and it doesn't work as a character study. The female characters are strident and bitchy while the male characters shuffle along with little to no interest in participating in their lives.Ned (Paul Rudd) is a happy-go-lucky hippie who gets arrested for selling pot to a cop. After his release, he struggles to find somewhere to live after his girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn) kicks him out of their goat farm/co-op. He tries to live with each of his three sisters in turn, but keeps bumbling into areas of their personal lives they don't want to confront.
Nothing about this is funny and it stars some incredibly funny people. I'm not sure how that happens. It's like reverse alchemy. All these golden stars turned to lead. It's depressing if you stop to think about it.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie.
