Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Absolutely amazing
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
The Brothers Solomon is a concrete example of why actors (poor actors at that) shouldn't fancy themselves writers or directors. I'm conducting this review as an open letter to several of the key players in this failure.Dear Bob Odenkirk,I know you're a hip hipster and an accomplished actor with such great shows under your belt like Tom Goes to the Mayor, Dr. Doolittle 2, and Monkeybone. It's a shame you managed to get into 9 episodes of SNL during some of it's better years, but the only reason I bring up your acting "experience" is to comment on your supposed directing. Your last failure, Let's Go To Prison, should have been a strong hint that you're a talentless hack, but still you pressed forward into new, uncharted seas of bad. In the world of movies, we've got a flat earth, and the good ship Brothers Solomon just headed off the edge. I hope with all my hoping strength that your talents as director, writer, producer, actor, or (HA!) songwriter are never employed again. If there's a black list, I hope you're on it. If there's a revolution, I hope you're first against the comedic wall (right next to buddy Will Forte).Love and Kisses,The Fat ManDear Will Arnett,I write to you with only the best intentions in mind. Please, oh please, read the script before you sign the contract. I know they're telling you something about nondisclosure or whatever - they're lying to you. Your career will continue to suffer should you ignore my advice.Hugs and Cuddles,The Fat ManDear Will Forte,I say "dear" only because it's a formality. I would have rather begun with "Die, Will Forte." First, a congratulation is in order. You've managed to do what no man thought was possible - write a comedy with no jokes. Considering your writing experience is from SNL in the past 5 years, it's easy to see where you think that writing random lines in the hope that someone will save it for you with a wacky gesture is "script writing." In the world of movies, you have to actually write out what's going to happen. Here's your idea of humor:Picture if you will, in your little mind, a man with a chicken on his head. Got it?Oh ho ho ho!!!! Look it's a man with a chicken on his head!!!! That's so funny!!! It's even funnier because... wait wait wait.. THE CHICKEN IS POOPING!!!!Read that over and over for an hour and you've got Will Forte writing a movie. And I know it's only a comedy, but a little consistency would be appreciated. Their either idiot losers, or they're smart but socially awkward homeschoolers - not knowing how to turn down volume on an electronic is a complete violation of the premise you started with.That said, I wish you well in your new career. After a two week total of less than $1 million, I doubt you'll be doing much more writing or acting. If there is any justice in the world, you'll be a fry master at Biggie Burger on 3rd shift.Love and Daggers,The Fat ManPS Even your opening credits were moronic.Dear Stephen Farber, Adam Graham, Tom Keogh, Jim Lane ("oddly winning"? really Jim, really??), Sue Pierman, Keith Phipps, Dustin Putman, and Eric D. Snider,You are not movie reviewers, despite what you've been told. How can you rate Brothers Solomon as fresh on RT? You disgust me. Your humanity is questionable. Your sanity, even more so. You deserve to be strapped into a seat, eyes propped open, to watch this mess for the rest of your miserable lives.Cheers.The Fat ManAnd lastly...Dear Readers, I am sorry I am so very angry. It's just.. I had to watch this movie. You would be too. Love,The Fat Man
Yes i loved it. No I Didn't Intend to. No I don't post reviews all the time(I think this is my first full-fledged review on any site...enuf bout me). Yes this movie is that good...need say more? k fine...i watched my fair share of movies...actually i watched more than that...but this review is for those who are easily convinced by IMDb rating....fget the ratings...its a no-harm heart-warming comedy...stop using much of your brains and stop making me write so much(it costs me 50$ 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
First of all I had no idea about this movie, it's actors (most of them are unknown to me), director and writers. It aired one day on HBO and I watched it giving up that day's class. This movie is that cool and funny.Story of two brothers (who are so close and not matured as a normal adult), teaming for good cause for making a Grandchild for their dying father. It's so cool and well written, we lost ourselves in each frames. I highly recommend this to any viewers (females are exception!) seeking for some decent jokes. It's not a rude awkward comedy we usually gets from Farrelly Brothers or Mediocre Spoof movies which usually stands for racial stereotypes homosexual humors and slap stick comedies. This movie is a GEM! I give this movie 10 out of 10!
Will Forte and Will Arnett make for a duo of blubbering idiots. These two go out of their way to make things as crazy and difficult as possible. Who ever heard of going to Craigslist and hiring somebody to have your baby? Well, maybe you have but I have not.The 'boys' go all out and I mean all out. The hospital equipment in the apartment, the over-done baby's room, the super-long skywriting. All of it was original and somewhat funny.Its not a bad movie. But a third Will, Will Ferrell, would have made it 10X better. Heck, even adding Bill Cosby would have made it better. But I doubt he would have allowed himself to be in this after Leonard Part 6. Overall, slightly above average. "C+"
