Brothers

Brothers had promise and potential going for it. Really solid cast. It started strong. The plot was interesting enough. I'm not sure if I should compare movies to generational classics, or the rest of the junk available to stream the past few years. I feel like Hollywood has never recovered from the writer's strike and it shows. This film is watchable, due to the low bar of available content. Do comedies now cater to the stupor of the low IQ majority of society? If you like low brow humor like seeing a grown man being jacked off by an orangutan, then you'll enjoy this movie. If you prefer witty sophisticated humor, you will roll your eyes a lot. I don't fault the actors. They played their roles. Dinklage is a true talent. Brolin shows range playing a believable character who isn't a tough guy with super powers. Marisa Tomei is great in everything. I wonder why she was uncredited. Fraser even pulled off the shady guard. Never been a fan of Glenn Close, but her prime was before my era. Brothers fails to draw you in. It's slow and lacks any kind of movie magic that makes you care about the outcome. You can't get invested in the characters' unrealistic plight. I'm sure the actors were desperate for a paycheck, but they're all better than this. It had its moments, and I made it to the end which is saying something I guess.

This film was how I expected it to be, a fun comedy with an interesting story and characters. Some of the writing in this film lets it down, but it was good writing overall.

The cast of this film is superb. I mean Josh Brolin, Peter Dinklage, Brendan Fraser, Glenn Close and Marisa Tomei (even though she is uncredited which is weird). They all play their characters very well, and it's great to see all of them in a comedy. Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage are a great comedy duo, and they play two brothers very well. Brendan Fraser's character was definitely one of my favourite parts of this film. His character is just so funny with the stuff he says and does. He does a great job at playing the character. It's great to see him in another comedy role, as it reminds me of his character Rick O' Connell from The Mummy whom I love so much. It's great to see Glenn Close and Marisa Tomei in a comedy film like this. They both play their characters very well, and they definitely bring their own style to each of them.

I thought that the shots in this film were very vibrant, smooth and crisp, which made it really stand out to me because of how good it looked. I also liked the fact that the pacing was fast but not too fast to the point where you can't keep up, because sometimes comedies do that. Another thing that I really liked is the duality of both brothers and their individual relationship with their mother.

Overall, this was a good film and an entertaining watch. Josh Brolin is one of my favourite actors, so I just had to watch this film.

I enjoyed this movie. It was kind of a modern remake of Twins with Schwarzenegger and Devito. It was more violent and raunchy than Twins but that's the modern part. Dinklage and Brolin are both great actors and seemed to have good chemistry on screen together. The story is mostly a road trip adventure with a bunch of run-in vignettes and it kept me entertained.

The 5ish rating it currently has doesn't do it justice. Brothers had its flaws, the worst of which was wasting the great talent of Marisa Tomei who deserved a better character/writing. But it also had genuinely funny to endearing moments that were worth the watch.

Many of the most negative reviews that have been posted here have the same keywords, the same key phrases, and criticize the same talking points, as if a single person wrote multiple reviews as a personal vendetta, for whatever reason. This movie is actually pretty enjoyable. It's an intentionally mindless farce comedy with some original ideas, great character actors, and novel plot twists. Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin have natural chemistry and great dialogue to work with. Perhaps they were allowed to improvise some of their exchanges. Brendan Fraser plays his character perfectly, note for note, and seems to be having a great time. M. Emmet Walsh appears in a few scenes, just long enough to remind people that he is a king of character actors. It's a mindless comedy that is intentionally ridiculous, and it works.

It's an amusing heist film and has a great cast. I don't get all the hate posted here. Yes, I've seen better movies, but I've surely seen a lot worse movies. It's a fun romp. It's pretty much what it appears to be and nothing more. It won't win Oscars, but not every movie is meant to win Oscars. It's a fun little popcorn flick. The chemistry is good between the actors. It's interesting seeing some of the actors play against type. If you want to spend an afternoon relaxing with a fun movie that has some really good actors. This movie may be for you. I really don't see a reason to write a book here, but the App keeps insisting this needs to be longer. I really don't want to post spoilers.
