UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Steve Pulaski There is an audience who will find The Brothers Solomon uproariously funny and an under-appreciated comedy gem. They will regard its humor as indescribable, zealous wit that the masses are too jaded and uptight to get. I wish them well and a positive viewing whether they're on their first or second view of the film or even their tenth or their eleventh.But I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to be a part of the aforementioned group. Bob Odenkirk has effectively made one of the most intolerable comedies I have seen in years. An ode to the odious qualities of comedic filmmaking, and a depressingly long, boring excursion I wouldn't wish on the guy responsible for my misery. It concerns the two brothers in the title, John (Will Arnett) and Dean (Will Forte), two socially inept losers who believe that getting a random girl (Kristen Wiig) to have to their baby will bring their father out of a coma, which he has been in for a lengthy amount of time.Stop right there and take them premise in. Reread the statement again, if you feel so inclined. Here is a film so desperate for an idea that it resorts to an idea so incredibly strained and embarrassingly thoughtless; Beavis and Butthead would know better than these two imbeciles.But the premise is just a fraction of what is deeply wrong with The Brothers Solomon from the get-go, which is the film is so desperate for a laugh that it becomes impossible for many of us to laugh under the given scenario and line of events that take place. It becomes an endurance test to see who could say the damnedest line and do the damnedest of things in hopes the audience will play along and laugh at its humor it justifies as "absurdist" or maybe "eclectic." Some may laugh at the humor and that is fine; we each possess our own different idea of what is funny and what is not - it is one of the most subjective things in the world. I just don't want to sit down and watch this with you if you do find this funny.Comedies like these are the equivalent of unwanted guests in your home. You can't articulate quite why they bug you, but they seem so hung-up on the idea of alienating, belittling, teasing, and frustrating you that you're trying to simultaneously juggle forced-niceness while nudging them out the door. The material here is crass without ever really coming close to being funny or amusing, and watching talented people like Forte, Arnett, and Wiig squander their likability for redundant sight-gags and stupefyingly unfunny sequences is hardly a good time.The Brothers Solomon is another entry in the genre of films with characters seemingly too stupid to function in the real-world. This kind of behavior can occasionally bring some wit and timing to the table, if directed and guided by someone with such talents (again, Mike Judge worked wonders with Beavis and Butthead on this idea alone). The Brothers Solomon has nothing of the sorts; it's one long, crude gag stretched far beyond its limits and is completely intolerable after twenty minutes. It's then we realize we have another long, relentless seventy-three minutes to go.Starring: Will Arnett, Will Forte, and Kristen Wiig. Directed by: Bob Odenkirk.

TherewillbenoremakeofHP Sostopbitchingboutpast (predatorinden_1516) Yes i loved it. No I Didn't Intend to. No I don't post reviews all the time(I think this is my first full-fledged review on any site...enuf bout me). Yes this movie is that good...need say more? k fine...i watched my fair share of movies...actually i watched more than that...but this review is for those who are easily convinced by IMDb rating....fget the ratings...its a no-harm heart-warming comedy...stop using much of your brains and stop making me write so much(it costs me 50$ a word!!! just kidding...hahahaha...just watch d movie will ya). I know this review might not be helpful at all...but that is my point...stop reading this or any kind of reviews....there is nothing to review and everything to have fun with in this movie....stop figuring out my grammar and spell mistakes and WATCH THIS MOVIE...like right tonight with all your popcorn...and those who are still unconvinced....i gave 8 stars coz i don't usually give that many...ya m a big fan of movie rating system but fget all that.Bottom line (which probably will be the only thing u will read in my review coz I bore so much)is.... ONE--TWO--THREE....WATCH SOLOMON BROTHERS

robmd27 well. I said to my friend ' lets watch a comedy ' hmm whats on sky he said and switched over the channels to find the single most worst piece of crap i have ever seen. The quality of acting in this film was....well to put it plainly i seen better in drama class in 1st year of secondary school. Will Arnett should NEVER EVER be allowed to act in a comedy film again, he keeps pulling these faces and instead of laughing you cringe... I actually thought the reaction of some of the characters in this movie was actually in response to his god awful acting rather than script only bit we actually laughed at was the stereotypical black dude who practically said the fword or the motherf word every time he spoke in the movie(of which wasn't much)

what_a_fat_pigeon I try and like all comedies I watch, I appreciate that it's not easy to be funny and therefore they should be given a fair chance. So I watched this all the way through and felt like crying at the end. Not because it's emotional, but because I had literally wasted $6 hiring it. The only good things I can say about this film is the fact that Tara is Hot, James saves the comedy aspect of it, and that the "Magic Numbers" song during the end credits is one of the best songs committed to film for a long time. I'm sorry to slate the actors, but Will Ferrel, Jim Carrey, John C. Riley, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, literally ANYONE, would have been better in this film then the two Wills. I only hired it because the advert before another film I'd hired seemed relatively funny, I will try my hardest not to make the same mistake twice.
