So many issues with this movie. Was everyone in this just bored and couldn't get another job, so they lowered themselves to do this? Every one of the actors in this movie are legendary in their own right, but this movie? They just proved that no matter how good of an actor you are, a bad script, bad directing, and low budget can cause great actors to be bad actors.

This movie was almost cartoonish and presented itself as if a child wrote it.

I'm all for silly and mindless comedies ... if they're funny. This movie was not funny. It was definitely mindless and barely cut the mustard at being silly. It was more absurd and overly exaggerated than anything else.

I enjoyed this movie. It was kind of a modern remake of Twins with Schwarzenegger and Devito. It was more violent and raunchy than Twins but that's the modern part. Dinklage and Brolin are both great actors and seemed to have good chemistry on screen together. The story is mostly a road trip adventure with a bunch of run-in vignettes and it kept me entertained.

The 5ish rating it currently has doesn't do it justice. Brothers had its flaws, the worst of which was wasting the great talent of Marisa Tomei who deserved a better character/writing. But it also had genuinely funny to endearing moments that were worth the watch.

The movie is cute, and individually many of the characters are played to perfection. Honestly, I'm just happy to see Brendan Frasier. Love him, and he does the crazy well. The only thing that kept me from enjoying this movie is Josh Brolin. Sorry Mr. Brolin, i heart you, and you and Mr. Dinklage, actually had good chemistry, and your lines and delivery were good, but you are not 40 something. Based on the story timeline, you guys should have been about 45, Dinklage pulls this off way better than you. For me it just didn't work, I just couldn't get past it. In addition each character, was just that , a character, and played to over the top, which fits this type of movie perfectly, and you can't take it too seriously, but then there are times it just misses. You see what they were going for, and ...it just doesn't make it. Peter Dinklage is the only reason this movie is worth seeing. There are some impressive dialogues in the movie, so if you are serious movie fan, that like to take the higher road, analyze, evaluate, feel the emotions, this might be the one for you. There is certainly opportunity there. If you are looking for pure entertainment, I can see where a certain mind set would find it funny. Mostly, i didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either, again, sorry Mr. Brolin, but just couldn't get past your casting.

I loved the last 1/3 of the movie, but the rest was a little hard to get through. But a great Sunday, low expectation movie. Lol.

Brothers had promise and potential going for it. Really solid cast. It started strong. The plot was interesting enough. I'm not sure if I should compare movies to generational classics, or the rest of the junk available to stream the past few years. I feel like Hollywood has never recovered from the writer's strike and it shows. This film is watchable, due to the low bar of available content. Do comedies now cater to the stupor of the low IQ majority of society? If you like low brow humor like seeing a grown man being jacked off by an orangutan, then you'll enjoy this movie. If you prefer witty sophisticated humor, you will roll your eyes a lot. I don't fault the actors. They played their roles. Dinklage is a true talent. Brolin shows range playing a believable character who isn't a tough guy with super powers. Marisa Tomei is great in everything. I wonder why she was uncredited. Fraser even pulled off the shady guard. Never been a fan of Glenn Close, but her prime was before my era. Brothers fails to draw you in. It's slow and lacks any kind of movie magic that makes you care about the outcome. You can't get invested in the characters' unrealistic plight. I'm sure the actors were desperate for a paycheck, but they're all better than this. It had its moments, and I made it to the end which is saying something I guess.

It's an amusing heist film and has a great cast. I don't get all the hate posted here. Yes, I've seen better movies, but I've surely seen a lot worse movies. It's a fun romp. It's pretty much what it appears to be and nothing more. It won't win Oscars, but not every movie is meant to win Oscars. It's a fun little popcorn flick. The chemistry is good between the actors. It's interesting seeing some of the actors play against type. If you want to spend an afternoon relaxing with a fun movie that has some really good actors. This movie may be for you. I really don't see a reason to write a book here, but the App keeps insisting this needs to be longer. I really don't want to post spoilers.
