Call Me Brother

It's one of those films that tries to be campy and utterly fails. I almost laughed a couple times, but the entire film fell short. Lousy acting, writing, and cinematography. Don't waste your time.

If this is the future of Austin filmmaking... its a good thing that the pandemic buried it... this movie is a complete mess - complete garbage. It would take a review the size of an encyclopedia to detail and discuss all that is wrong and weird and misguided and disgusting and gross and stupid about this movie - but lets face it - this movie (and I use the term loosely) is simply not worth the effort. I imagine everyone who worked on this cinematic abortion is working at a Starbucks now with the exception of Dismukes who is only on SNL because he is cute and Pete Davidson is aging out (and overly tattooing out) of the cute young guy spot. This is the kind of movie that makes you wish people just died when they turned 18.

I discovered this movie on tubitv and I loved it!

Please reconsider any impressions you may have gotten from the other reviews here: why would they try watching this movie if they were turned off by the obvious subject matter?

This movie abounds with humor, but it does not shy away from displaying affectionate moments between Tony and Lisa, a brother and sister who were separated for many years by their parents.

Both these special moments and the wacky humor are at once awkward and endearing. I found myself rooting for the two leads while appreciating their connection.

The movie is so full of these odd moments between them and the other characters of the show, especially their father. I recoiled in embarrassment and delight at these times, and I was grateful a movie with dialogue and subject matter this could be made.

I feel the movie actually surpasses it's own tagline "an incestuous comedy". And yet it never tried to be something that is not. It builds up quite a bit of a fondness and closeness between the characters before anything freak really happens. And when the movie ended, it made me wishing there was more!

If you enjoy this topic, give the movie a try.

Obviously its going to be a crude and risqué movie, but there's barely any humor (aside from maybe the dad). The story just doesn't tie together and so many of the secondary characters are over the top and obnoxious. You feel so uncomfortable throughout the film.

For whatever reason, I had this on my watchlist which I can only guess that I must have clicked the add to watchlist button by mistake back whenever I cam across this movie because there is no other reason I can think of as to why it would be on there and as I'm trying to go through all the movies on there, I decided to give his a shot. Who knows, maybe it might not be so bad of a movie.

Turns out it was bad, really really bad.

This movie turned the creeps up to 11 the minute they decided that the brother and sister should stay in the same room (no sane parent would even think that is a good idea) but it somehow it gets even creepier as the movie painfully drags on which I'm not going to go into as I'm still trying to repress this movie from my memory especially after seeing the ending.

The jokes if there were any because I failed to register anything remotely resembling a joke in this movie were unfunny unless the movie itself is the joke in which case it is still unfunny.

I would give this a 0 if IMDB would've let me and I would honestly watch The Emoji Movie before I would ever lay eyes on this garbage again and I utterly hate The Emoji Movie.
