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.

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.

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.

Many of the most negative reviews that have been posted here have the same keywords, the same key phrases, and criticize the same talking points, as if a single person wrote multiple reviews as a personal vendetta, for whatever reason. This movie is actually pretty enjoyable. It's an intentionally mindless farce comedy with some original ideas, great character actors, and novel plot twists. Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin have natural chemistry and great dialogue to work with. Perhaps they were allowed to improvise some of their exchanges. Brendan Fraser plays his character perfectly, note for note, and seems to be having a great time. M. Emmet Walsh appears in a few scenes, just long enough to remind people that he is a king of character actors. It's a mindless comedy that is intentionally ridiculous, and it works.

When twin brothers Jady and Moke Munger were children their mother abandoned them; fleeing the law with a bag of stolen emeralds. The boys grow up and true to the family become criminals. When a job goes wrong Jady ends up in prison while Moke goes straight and gets married. Jady manages to get out early by telling a corrupt guard, who is the son of a corrupt judge, that he can get the emeralds. Reunited the brothers find themselves of a madcap road trip to find the emeralds before the guard catches up with them.

This is the sort of film one watches once, finds fairly amusing but know won't bother watched again. The plot is simple and delivers some good laughs even if it is a bit lowbrow at times. The acting is solid; Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin have a good chemistry as the bickering brothers and the supporting cast, which includes plenty of well-known actors is decent even if they have all been in better things. Some of the special effects are distinctly unimpressive; it is a shame too many films these days think average CGI is better than physical effects. Overall I'd say it was funny enough but is far from a must watch.
