Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThree famous brothers cameo as themselves at "Siblings Anonymous". The first is Frank Stallone, who speaks about Rocky and Rambo, two major blockbuster film series that star his brother, Sylvester. The second is Roger Clinton, half-brother of former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The third is Stephen Baldwin, the youngest Baldwin brother (specifically, he has issues with the eldest and arguably most famous, Alec Baldwin).
- GoofsAt the Siblings Anonymous meeting, Roger Clinton explains that he got upset watching footage of his famous brother Bill on the History Channel making his 1993 State of the Union Address to Congress. There was no State of the Union address in 1993 as Bill Clinton had just become President and the traditional speech never takes place during an inauguration year.

Featured review
Thought it was great and even a little insightful.
I thought this movie was very funny. My sons were begging to go see it so on a whim we decided to take them tonight. Just got back home and the kids were so excited that they laughed about it all the way home. I also think the movie shows a lot about sibling rivalry and how over the years it can blow up and get worse without anyone really realizing that it is happening. There were a lot of funny moments and I noticed everyone in our packed theater was laughing in what seemed to me all the right areas. I think this movie also shows how childhood disappointments can have effects long into your future. Either way, it was a very entertaining way to spend 2 hours and I would see it again.
