There's no attempt at great drama or great comedy here. I just like Stifler's version of dumb, which the movie coasts upon.

IF YE HAD A CHANCE TO CHANGE YUIR FATE, WOULD YE?
Brave - 6.5/10
If the title is the conceit, to co-opt and corrupt someone else's phrase, then the movie never actually builds up to someone having to exhibit real and honest courage. And that's unfortunate, because it spends a good portion of its running time building up characters I really like and creating an honest-to-god conundrum that has a tough logic (if an old-world logic) to it. To one, have the least likable character become the person we have to root for and, two, to have things settle down so easily, is a disservice to all of the little character moments that went in to its architecture.
I'm not going to receive that with anything but love.
My Idiot Brother - 4/10
I think there's been a string of mainstream-ish movies lately that have just the shit-worst women in it. Every girl in this thing is a fucking bitch of some sort and so nine-tenths of everyone in here is a pain to have to get to know. All that fuckery does, however, help to build this really nice cathartic moment towards the end where the idiot brother shits on everyone who is awful, but fuck me if I shouldn't hate them when they turn nice at the end 'cause pissants don't deserve redemption.

You don't have to bend the whole world.
If you shoot [an] arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.
