The Brothers Solomon

Though not without its screwball charm, The Brothers Solomon suffers from a lack of comic inspiration long before the film reaches the third trimester.

The story makes no sense, and the two lead characters are repulsive, but I must confess I laughed immoderately at this clever piece of junk.

Odd-couple comedy that tries much too hard and, in other ways, not hard enough.

A dismal gross-out comedy.

Relentlessly bad taste.

Direction is undistinguished, and the editing leaves far too much room for laughs that never arrive.

The humor on display is a seldom-seen blend of disturbing mockery and playful simple-mindedness that is, ultimately, hit or miss.

...benefits from the inclusion of several genuinely funny whacked-out bits of comedy...

Disappointing comedy that takes a single joke and attempts to stretch it over an entire movie, with predictably poor results.

Oh, brother! Firing blanks in every direction, this tedious vehicle for two hard-to-like comedians is stillborn from the off.
