Brothers

I read a review in which the author said he had had to pause the movie because of how hard he was laughing. When I read something like this, and being myself an "easy laughter" kind of person, and taking into account that I ABSOLUTELY love Josh Brolin, I ADORE Brendan Frasier and usually am well surprised at Peter Dinklage's versatility, I decided to give it a go... The casting people here, oh Lord... what were they thinking?! Chemistry between the actors is none and less!!!! My God, what happened to Glenn Close's face? I mean, don't get me wrong, people get old, but Jesus... even for the movie, I don't think that her character had grown that old!! If this was a comedy, I can tell You straight out, that I did not even etch a smile... I just went with it and watched the movie. The actors are FANTASTIC, but they are not made for comedy (and I have to reiterate that this was not funny at all), and this movie it's just another one in the pile... nothing stands out for You to dedicate the 90 minutes to... What a waste of talent!

We chose to watch because of the cast. All with tremendous track records of success. We turned it off because the cast was wasted on this spectacularly unengaging film. We found ourselves watching and saying, "Wait. What?" Not because it was fun/surprising. It was stupid/surprising. Yet another in the list of "streaming service making sub-par entertainment that would never have been produced in the past." Just stop. The good news is: viewers can stop whenever we want. And we did. But it's not too late for you. Spend 90 minutes elsewhere, on something far less painful. A root canal or bikini wax come to mind.

Ok the movie was silly and a carbon copy of others, silly dysfuctional family etc etc. But the ripper in this whole movie was Glenn Close, not a scene went by where I had to keep reminding myself it's her! She's so funny and perfectly poised to take this role. I hope we get to see more Glenn Close being less Glenn Close if you know what I mean..... The film was an easy popcorn watching movie, Frasier was awesome (though reminded me of the character Favra from Super Troopers, but more serious obvs), Brolin and Dinklage keep their performance up well throughout! Anyway worth a watch and deserves better ratings than it's getting!

Such a breath of fresh air, this film. Honestly, I will sit down and give anything Dinklage is starring in at least 30 min. And this film had me cracking up immediately. Such a hidden gem full of EGOT winners (not EGOTs themselves but the awards in general, with the exception of Glenn Close, maybe idk) I was cracking up at one scene with Brolin, Tomei, and Dinklage when i realized all these actors were from Avengers movies lol. And who doesn't love when Brendan Fraser does comedy? The comedic timing and slapstick made me feel like a kid again. Definitely check this film out if you just need to laugh!
