Loved this movie. Laughed the whole way through.
We all have an father/ uncle named Joe or Charlie. We were brought up to pray to St. Anthony to find something we have lost.
We all experienced the banter, the comical representation of westernised sayings and quotes slightly manipulated by the Maltese interpretation and strong accent.
The Galea brothers did an great job communicating what it was like to grow up in a Maltese family very well. A family that migrated to another country like Australia to make a better life for their families.
Finally a movie I can truly relate to.
Absolutely hilarious. Highly recommend Especially for Generation X we can really relate to this.

I felt like I was watching my own family up there, it almost brought a tear to my eye.
Well done Julian for being able to show us the fundamental importance of the family unit, (even a dysfunctional one like Joe & Charlie) and then mix it in with some very light hearted rancour that played on the multicultural antics of Maltese people living in a Western country like Australia or the US.
A must watch movie for those who still appreciate a well thought out story and script and who dread having to watch another meaningless empty Hollywood Sci-fi superhero movie which seems to be in the majority these days.

It was wonderful to experience the full-house Melbourne screening of this movie - the movie is very relatable as a first generation Australian/Maltese and captures some of our authentic cultural traits with humility and humour, while respecting the boundaries of comedy, with a good story line - the family production of this movie is a wonderful achievement and the connectivity with Julian on the day to hear how this was all achieved was fantastic.
May the support and funding continue to showcase and appreciate the Maltese culture and how it is embedded across the world for many generations to come and hopefully, a series or this narrative!

We loved Brothers From Malta, the whole cinema was loving it with many laughs along the way. This film will bring back many of your childhood memories from Malta. Definitely worth going to see.
There are a couple of Maltese words during the movie and when I was translating them to my boys they could not stop laughing. Julian has dove a great job in making this film, can't wait for more to come. The cinema I was at was quite full with people with Maltese heritage and they all loved it. If you get a chance go and see this while it's there it at the selected cinemas, take your parents as they will love it for sure.

Went to see this premiere last night of the feature film after being a fan of the YouTube series. I was blown away I didn't expect it, being a indi film, looked like a studio to me.
Smart script obviously skewed to a Maltese audience but being of an ethnic culture it was like sitting in my family room. Great banter between the two brothers that kept us all laughing and the Maltese cracking up!!
Joe reminds me so much of Maltese mates dad growing up, the accents were so authentic.
It's great to see some diversity in Julian's ability as a film maker when both good first feature films were romantic movies, so well done Julian!
I recommend you give out a go...
