Breaking hot actresses news! Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones, and Emily Mortimer have signed on to the latest Paul Rudd comedy, 'My Idiot Brother.'

Happy Tears - We grow old. It goes without saying, and yet, we don’t say it much. Happy Tears contends with this inevitability. Parker Posey and Demi Moore play sisters who return home to care for their increasingly delusional father (Rip Torn).

(Think: Elle Woods in 30 years, rocking a prop stethoscope.) -- Eiseley Tauginas
