Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

vincentlynch-moonoi I have to admit that there are a couple of actors here that I really enjoy. But even beyond that, I really liked this film...both times I watched it.Morris Chestnut is a long-time favorite of mine. There are times that he seems to mumble a bit...and I see that a little bit here...but generally his acting is believable. Shemar Moore...this may have been the first movie I ever saw him in. A good actor. Gabrielle Union gets my vote as the most beautiful actress in Hollywood...and she's good, although she's a much better actress now than she was 17 years ago. I thought Bill Bellamy did a good job here, although to an extent his character was not very likable. Not sure why I've never noticed him before. I like D.L. Hughley as a comedian although he's certainly gone wild with tattoos lately), but I can't say that he was able to keep up with the other actors here. The story line was decent, although having four separate story lines was a bit too much. The story line around Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union was the most interesting, and could have been a film in and of itself. The story line with Shemar Moore, likewise, could have been a film unto itself. The story line with Bill Bellamy was clearly secondary to the overall film, and as a result got short shrift. And the story line with D.L. Hughley just seemed vulgar.In terms of supporting actors, Jennifer Lewis (whom many of us recognize most from "Blackish") is a hoot, although I wonder if she is typecasting herself.All in all, an enjoyable film.

smooth_op_85 The Brothers is a classic tale of boys becoming men.Morris Chesnut is Jackson Smith, a successful pediatrician and leading man of the crew who gets involved with Denise (Gabrielle Union) his Mom is played by Jennifer Lewis and sister is Tatiana Ali best known as Ashley from Prince of Bel-Air Shemar Moore is Terry White, womanizer and we're lead to believe he's a ladies man...which by his looks, we don't doubt. He's getting engaged to Bebe, a woman who's at the gun range 3x/wk D.L. Hughley is Derrick West who has allowed his wife to control the terms of their relationship instead of it being a partnership. He also wants to get a need fulfilled by his wife that she won't fill Bill Bellamy is Brian Palmer a womanizer in the other direction of Terry. No charm, no guile no wit...he gives up on dating black women and is trying to get through to his mother (who was on Scrubs as Nurse Laverne) So the 4 come together every week to play basketball and air out their life issues with candor and a lot of laughs! This movie is well done, and true to life as I've seen it. Great writing, storytelling is on point and the depth of the characters...at least the ones we're supposed to care about stands out among other films Great film I rate it a 9 out of 10

bob the moo Four professional young black men have a strong friendship that has lasted through relationships and work – even if sometimes it just means getting together for hoops and then drinks at the club. Jackson has commitment issues, Derrick is married, Brian is out for bodies only while Terry is respected for his sexual exploits. So when Terry announces his engagement to new girlfriend BeBe it is met with a mixed reception – cynicism, disbelief and happiness. As Terry prepares for his wedding, the others are having their own relationship issues that will brings changes to all of their lives.It is rare to find a film about a group of black men where the only clear sight of a gun is in a white woman's purse and is met with a black man asking it to be removed from his house. Such is the overwhelming force of gangsterisms, guns and machoisms in black culture that I felt I was almost duty bound to see a film that tries something different. However "different" is no guarantee of quality and indeed this film is frustratingly uneven and inconsistent. The basic plot offers a good chance to get inside the heads of four men (regardless of colour) and at times it manages to do this in interesting ways as well as providing some genuinely funny and reasonably realistic banter. However for every moment that is like this there seems to be two where it'll head off into sentimentalism, soap opera drama or outright dumb plot device. It is a shame because generally the film is distracting mush that isn't too sentimental but is still basic to the point where it washed over me – it was only these bad moments that stuck in my throat for one reason or another. The conclusion is suitably mushy and is a fine summary of the film – unconvincing, mushy, unlikely, melodramatic but still reasonably fun forgettable stuff.The cast are mixed but mostly match the level of the material by being predictable and a bit unimaginative. Chestnut is probably the best of the cast and makes for a nice leading man – good looks, a bit of charm and the ability to say his lines naturally all help. Hughley is funny and, although he doesn't make a convincing character and is a bit of a caricature but is still fun and his scenes have energy. Bellamy and Moore are somewhat non-events, with the latter very wooden and failing to make an impression on me. The females are generally young and attractive but lack the material served up to the men (which itself isn't that great). Union is sexy but her character doesn't convince and she doesn't know what to do with it. Jones works well with Hughley but Ali, Dalian, Lewis and others generally just hang around with basic lines and no characters to speak of – Ali in particular gets nothing to work with and seems to be there just to draw a laugh from hearing the innocent young Fresh Prince star talking about her "pu**y".Overall then a distracting and reasonably amusing film that has some good moments but annoys in the ease with which it just slips into sentimental melodrama etc. The performances are mixed and none of them really help lift the material to something that could have been amusing and interesting. Forgettable fluff that isn't bad but just generally isn't that good.

musiking When I first saw this movie, I loved it. I actually bought the movie in a 2 pack at Suncoast. Don't go there by the way, they are way too expensive when you could just go to a cheaper store. But I digress. I loved The Best Man. It was much better, whoever it was that said it isn't. Anyway, it is just way too boring. What gets me though, is that I loved almost every actor in this movie. The only one i didn't know was Bebe and she kinda grew on me. This movie was just too dry for me. Morris Chestnut was being generous because he was in this movie when it was independent, before getting picked up by screen gems, which really perturbs me. This doesn't compare to bewitched or any of the screen gems shows. Besides that, the movie really disillusions the trailer. I'm sorry I just can't lie about this lame movie. Big disappointment. I still love the actors and I'm willing to give the writer a chance.
