Chicago – Amiable charm compensates for scattershot laughs in Ryan O’Nan’s directorial debut, “Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best.” There’s an undercurrent of tangible warmth that reverberates beneath O’Nan’s awkward assemblage of quirky gags and self-consciously clever dialogue. Though I spent much of the film on the fence, it eventually won me over.
There are few things more thrilling to watch in a film than two strangers connecting through their shared passion for music. That’s what happened in John Carney’s 2006 masterpiece, “Once,” as Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová brilliantly portrayed the spontaneity of an unrehearsed musical performance—allowing the Oscar-winning tune, “Falling Slowly,” to organically unfold before the audience like a blooming flower.
DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0
A similar sort of magic occurs about a half-hour into “Brooklyn Brothers,” as mismatched duo Alex (O’Nan) and Jim (Michael Weston) start to perform a tune while driving to their next gig.

Title: Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best Director: Ryan O’Nan Starring: Ryan O’Nan, Michael Weston, Arielle Kebbel, Andrew McCarthy, Christopher McDonald, Jason Ritter, Wilmer Valderrama, Kate Baldwin, Charles Chu, Gregg Edelman, Melissa Leo, Jake Miller An offbeat, hipster-inflected road movie that almost steadfastly refuses to conform to expectation and sense, multi-hyphenate Ryan O’Nan’s “Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best” is a to-scale victory of quirky charm and feeling over sagacity. If that sounds like a backhanded compliment, which it kind of is, it’s also one certainly fitting for its protagonists. The tale of two struggling musicians trying to find their place in the world, ”Brooklyn Brothers” is a film with a restless soul. It likely wouldn’t [ Read More ]

Here's another day of our visit to the set of The Red Robin feature film, written and directed by Michael Z. Wechsler, and starring Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Damages, The Muppets), Ryan O'Nan (The Brooklyn Brothers Beat The Best, The Frozen Ground), C.S Lee (Dexter), Caroline Lagerfelt (Gossip Girl), Jaime Ray Newman (Eureka, Eastwick), and Joseph Lyle Taylor (Seven Psychopaths).
The film centers around a family reunion that goes awry when the youngest son of the fictional Shellner family accuses his famed psychiatrist father (played by Judd Hirsch) of adopting his family for the purposes of experiments in mind control for the government.
They have their own very cool Making-of blog here.
The cast says goodbye to young actor Jake Miller on his last day of shooting.
