Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kayden
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

After the financial success of Dumb & Dumber (1994) as if a branch in the buddy comedy has been established. A branch where the comedy centers on not Mickey and Goofy, but 2 goofy goofs. Aside from growing as easy and tacky formula, I see that more than one goofy isn't a good idea in the first place. So in general those movies don't interest me. The Brothers Solomon though did interest me yet for not the right reasons ! Here's a possible nominee for the worst comedy ever. It has a real sick sense of humor (cutting off the electricity so the dad might die, imagining accidents for the baby, killing the fiancée by a bus, etc all of that made me disgusted and horrified), some of the most unfunny but noxious lines ever written ("when you poop that child", "enter a woman" ??!), and it's starring the silliest man in the universe : Will Arnett. Well, I can stand Steven Seagal in a comedy, but Arnett ? NOOOOOOOOOOOO !By the way during all the time Will Arnett and Will Forte look, especially Arnett, so gay. Enough to say that when I watched the channel's trailer for the movie I thought it's a comedy about 2 gay men who want to adopt a child to win something. Maybe that look was intended for them as ironic; while portraying 2 desperate-to-get-marry men. However it didn't make me laugh !Just look at the opening credits. It's all about the 2 leads' smiling faces ?!!! When you make an intro like this it mirrors an excessive confidence, not to mention being so boring and a prophecy of ridiculousness. In that campy manner the movie walks. It thinks itself so comic, with talented charismatic stars, that anything they may do would hit rightly, while it's a wrong thinking form the start !The only survivor is – strangely – one heck of a scene. Yes, as you have guessed earlier I'm sure, it's the message by the plane. So finally this movie "knows" about comedy. The real cleverness and originality of that part must make you ask why the rest of the movie looked the way it was ?!! In the Dumb & Dumber movies lately, The Brothers Solomon is the most ugly and tormenting. It's rather made by the Dumb & Dumber of the movie-makers. I hated watching it. It's not about being unlaughable comedy, it's about being unbearable movie ! P.S : Did you notice the movie's characters' love for going to the bathroom ? In any case, don't ask why !

This movie is more than watchable, as in, I didn't check my facebook more than 4 times the entire movie. I especially like the part when they try to watch a movie while their father is on the same circuit breaker and the power goes off. Now that's comedy. Man In Motion song is repeated, with dignity, throughout. I almost gave this movie a seven, but then re-though my decision for an eight. I am giving this movie a review after all. Silly, stupid comedy is fab. check 'er out! The review board is saying I must write ten lines of text to submit a review so here we go... Also watch... Wet hot American summer,waking ned devine, drowning mona,and jaws more than seven thousand times in your life and all will be well.

I usually don't write reviews for comedies, because they usually don't deserve one. These days, we know our actors and can say, "Yea, it's going to contain this sort of comedy, if I liked what he (or they) did last year, I will love this," and that isn't to put down comedies at all, they are made that way and they're hilarious (as most comedians usually write or co-write and produce their films these days). This film, which I never even heard whimpered or scoffed of anywhere, deserves a review, because I don't think many people paid it any mind.The film was written by Forte (Dean Solomon), a recent SNL personality (I never watch it personally). I never knew his comedy style, but the two brothers, (John Solomon played by Arnett) both have symmetrical characters who play off each other as pretty much two men who were raised in a sheltered home and pretty much see everything in a very positive light.Their own characters weren't even that annoying, as one might think, and I am easily annoyed by characters. They were straight forward guys who would ball-bust people with a smile on their face. The comedy is situational to them pretty much completing scenes with their personalities (playful 'burning' of each other with wise cracks or situations that happened to them and getting by spotty and racy situations by their pure ignorance to their offenses).Simply put, if you like comedy, you will like this movie. It has a very good modern plot with a twist and two characters who are hilarious. If you liked Dumb and Dumber you should be reminded of the quaint quirky humor back in the 90's, with this new fresh look at situational comedy.The plot also keeps moving, unlike some comedies that catch a snag. This movie is continuously in motion with pretty much trial and error scenes that are all a laugh.

A popular comedy formula is to replace the expected tone of a story with another one. The Monty Python Troupe excelled at this by making everyday mundane situation outrageously ridiculous or vice versa or pretty much any other bizarre switcheroo that you can think of. "The Brothers Solomon" takes anxiety from one of the big steps on life, having a baby, and replaces it with some serious awkwardness.The titular characters, two brothers who were raised in the North Pole away from civilization and are therefore socially inept try to find a surrogate mother and give their father his last wish: a grandchild. The father is in a coma so the two bumbling brothers, John and Dean, are out in their own. The result is wonderfully... well, awkward. From finding the woman to be their surrogate mother to figuring out how to impregnate her, from arguments at the sperm bank to all the way to baby training and every step in between is hilariously quirky - "Should we put locks on the locks in case the baby learns the combinations?" It is a sense of humor that will not please everyone, since the protagonists are funny not because they snap funny lines and manage to do impossible things (like Bugs Bunny surviving a long fall) but because they can't do anything right. Yet this redundancy of wrong doing is never redundant here, but rather it becomes the movie's very enjoyable quirky theme. And that's what a good comedy needs. --- 8/10BsCDb Classification: 13+ --- profanity, crude content
