Bobby Newport is the dopey son of a rich, entitled family who makes life extremely difficult for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler).
The fact that he’s too dumb to realize how annoying he is turns out to be the comedic icing on the cake.
Some actors get pigeonholed as either “TV personalities” or “big screen movie stars,” but precious few transition back and forth with the ease that Paul Rudd has managed.
Maybe it’s because, instead of trying to carry his own sitcom, Rudd has chosen his moments to shine on previously established shows like Friends and Parks and Recreation.
