Brothers

The previous poster is one, or both, of the Dunkerton brothers, and I claim my £5.

Unless they spent that £5 making this absolutely atrocious "film". I have never watched something I found so insulting, from the utterly derivative 'Song 2' by Blur starting as some moron walks away from his crappy little house to go on holiday with his crappy little friends.

I even found the hairstyles sported by each character irritating. That is how bad this film is. The soul searching of the film's "characters" is in vain - they have no souls to speak of.

The Dunkertons probably still argue that this is a great piece of film-making and have plans to partake in future projects. They should never be allowed near a camera again. On pain of death.

we also bought this film because of the "more topless sun-lovers than a page 3 conference" and the Gary Lineker lookalike on the back cover of the case. the film cost us a mere £2 from the pre-owned 'bin' at blockbuster (i now know why its called a bin)and we returned it for our £2. the film is just awful. heres what happens. some guys go on holiday, they get drunk, one meets a girl, one gets arrested, one discovers he's gay, they go home. seriously after reading that you might as well have watched the film. there is no firm story line and the characters are all crap.

anybody who is considering to set aside a night to watch this film, i recommend you have a back-up film ready because this is just unwatchable.

This film definitely has potential as a learning aid for budding film makers, lesson 1 don't make your film like this.

the only thing i liekd about it was the fact that dom from hollyoaks was one of the 600 producers for the film

The storyline was virtually non existent and what storyline there was appeared to provid enough of an excuse for a production team and actors to spend a few weeks in a very desirable location.

The acting was nothing special and if one hadn't known better the overall impression was that the entire performance was the first shot at script writing and film making by a group of first year media students at a college of further education.

Everyone I know who has seen the film has reacted similarly. It can be described in two words 'absolutely awful'! Who, one wonders financed this venture?

I got to see this at a preview screening because I used to work with Nick Valentine. I politely stayed to the end, I think I even told him it was good - but in reality, saying it was one of the worst films I have ever seen is being nice. If you haven't seen it - don't bother - it contains a thin plot, clichéd characters and very unfunny gags. I was a fair bit younger when I saw it and I think I might have laughed at a couple of the gags but you end up embarrassed at just how bad it all is. It is immature, schoolboy humour at its worst. You even get bored of yet another pair of breasts by halfway through. I wanted to like it for Nick's sake, I really did but it is awful. I cannot say that enough. Nick clearly enjoyed writing it though and if you've got money to burn why not? I can think of many other things I would rather spend my money on.

Ok, I admit it. I was brought in under the claim "more topless sun-lovers than a page 3 conference" on the DVD cover and, being the mug I am, handed over 6 shiny new pound coins for this cinematic dreck. I would like to forget I ever came into contact with it, but the fact that somebody has written in to imdb has forced me to grab my keyboard and do my good deed for the day by telling everybody just why they should avoid this worthless rubbish.

First off, the film has not plot. Just a random bunch of scenes sello-taped together with clearly struggling amateur actors extolling the virtues of partying, drinking, dancing and having a good time. Isn't that nice? However, the dialogue is painful and made even worse by the way the characters say it, with no conviction whatsoever and with so much soul-searching you just watch to punch the television. The camera-work is atrocious, especially during the disco scenes where there is so much spinning around and general craziness it just becomes ludicrous. Who could release the film is this state?! And as for the much-hyped nudity, most of it is blurry miscellanious female extras hanging around in the background, but true to the hyperactive nature of everything else we only highlight on them for half a second before the ADD affected film-crew bounce off to focus on something else.

Is there anything nice to say about Brothers? Well the scenery is nice, and so it should be: It was filmed on location in Greece. But if you really want to see the highlights of this famous holiday destination, why not go on holiday there? You'll get a nice tan into the bargain. Oh and the stars are of course beautiful, both in and out of their clothes, again a clear sign that they were chosen for looks, not acting ability. I doubt we'll be seeing any of them ever again in anything more complicated than a Swimsuit Illustrated photo-shoot. One more interesting point: there has been a lot in the news recently about the police cracking down on rowdy UK holidayers in Greece with their drunken antics and thuggish trouble-making. Quite apart from the grief it causes the locals and damage to their properties, if it stops people from making abysmal flicks like this, they have my full support.
