Featured reviews
I think the movie was hilarious. For me it was a reality with a funny crazy journey.
I didn't expect the plot to be so touching and engaging. It gave me tears at the end. I really like the journey of bonding, self discovery and forgiveness.
The story revolves around a man who comes to the states as an immigrant. His abandoned son in Mexico is sent on a treasure hunt from the clues left behind by him. Along with his half brother, he embarks on this amazing and funny journey to find the story of his father. Beautiful movie for the beautiful mind.
Some technical issues with the film that are bothersome but other than that it's a fun film. The two main actors are good and funny. Very sentimental , too.
I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Half Brothers" and expecting it to just be a fairly average comedy, maybe in the likes of "Step Brothers" or something like that. So I would be in for an adequate comedy.
But wow, this movie was just amazing. It is without a doubt the best comedy I have seen in a long, long time.
The storyline in the movie is just great, as it is one that has lots of laughs from start to end, but it is also a very wholehearted and very beautiful story at the same time, about two brothers coming together and two brothers coming to terms with their departed father. And then of course there is a goat! Yeah, watch the movie, and you'll know what that is about.
I was so very entertained by the movie from the very beginning and up to the end, and "Half Brothers" is so much more than just a comedy movie. It is definitely a movie that you need to sit down to watch if you enjoy comedies that have a proper storyline and a feelgood heart.
And I must say that there wasn't a single dull moment throughout the course of the entire movie, so thumbs up to writers Ali LeRoi, Jason Shuman and Eduardo Cisneros on that accomplishment. The things that happened to Renato and Asher during the road trip was just hilarious.
Then I have to mention the two lead actors Luis Gerardo Méndez (playing Renato Murguía) and Connor Del Rio (playing Asher Murguía). They were phenomenal in this movie. I loved the chemistry they had on the screen together, they were amazingly funny together. And both of them definitely added a lot of enjoyment to the movie.
This movie totally took me by surprise, and it is a movie that I can warmly and highly recommend that you sit down to watch, if you have the chance. Because this movie is as unique and funny as it is beautiful and touching.
My rating of "Half Brothers" lands on a most well-deserved eight out of ten stars.
