I truly enjoyed this. So funny I almost spit out my popcorn...

...on at several occassions. I haven't laughed this hard in a move theater in a long time.
Very funny stuff, with a great ensemble cast. The Brits are sooooo good ont the timing on comic farce. Things just keep piling up - I bet they had a good time making this one. DAAF is one of Frank Oz's better efforts (remember Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?). Superbad was funny but I have a limited tolerance for the sexual predicaments of teenage boys. This is the only comedy I've seen in a long time that I would go back to see again.
I especially liked Matthew Macfadyen as the long-suffering "responsible" brother - is this the older brother character you're talking about??? If so he's already a star in Britain for his lead role on Spooks (MI-5 on US TV), stage work plus BBC TV like The Way We Live Now and Perfect Strangers. He's best known on this side of the pond for playing Mr. Darcy in 2005's Price & Prejudice. He looks completely diferent in all these things so most here may not recognize him.
I've loved Macfadyen's acting for a long time - if you ever get a chance to see a terrific NZ movie called In My Father's Den you'll catch his best screen performance. He's obviously very good at comedy - I'd like to see him in more. I love his scene with Dinklage where he discovers his father's...erm...secret. Right now Mafadyen's filming Ron Howard's adaptation of the Tony award winning play Frost/Nixon with Frank Langella, Kevin Bacon and Michael Sheen (he was Tony Blair in The Queen). BTW, his wife in the fil (Keeley hawes) is his wife in RL.
Alan Tudyk made the most of his character too - he could have easily gone over the top.
Highly redommended.
