The Brothers Solomon

Some people have expectations for slapstick comedy. And that can be a mistake. If you don't like stupidity, this isn't the film for you. This is like a modern day low budget 80s comedy. Made for the fun of it with zero intent for "comedy of the year". Definitely an odd couple, as someone said, but definitely a good goof off comedy for me.

God it's awful. Just awful.

Hard not see why the movie continues to be hated. It has real affection for the titular brothers when the natural instinct of the audience is to despise them for their grating and earnest cluelessness. That perspective (and the performances of Arnett and Forte) is what I appreciated about this bizarre comedy, which has the guts to stick to the convictions of the screenplay.

One of the worst films I have ever seen.

If this was a "Dumb and Dumber" sequel of the lobotomized duo figuring out how to reach fatherhood, then the reception would have been slightly better. However, since it is not but merely a mimic of the idiocy which deems much lower in storytelling quality and embarrassment for performative talent, what surreal about it is how dumb it has gone without being funny at all but more tiresome by overstaying their annoying welcome. If any talented leads want to play a dumbed down version of their characterized selves takes monetary commitment and risky showcase. (D+)

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Cast was wasted on this movie. Direction was terrible. Script was terrible. Don't waste the hour and a half of your life that it would take to watch.

Not the best comedy ever but it was solid and had several funny moments that weren't in the trailer/preview.

I 100% disagree with the critics and the general audience on this. The movie is a national treasure and deserves a spot in the Library of Congress. Not only does the song St. Elmo's Fire showcase the best moments of the film, but a total of three different versions of it are played throughout the movie's running time of an hour and a half. It has an outstanding cast, no screen time is wasted on them. In all seriousness, Will Forte's sense of humor shines in the writing and Bob Odenkirk's direction helms flawless performances. Do yourself a favor and spend some time with this. You'll impress your friends with this deep cut.

With Will Arnett’s casting, it’s worth a watch for just him alone.
