With so much fantastic talent in this movie, it is very difficult to believe how bad this is. The actors and the director in this production are among the funniest in the business. Amazingly, the movie is not very funny.There ARE a couple of good bits--namely the plane banner message--but overall a waste of time. Just one bad joke carried out to a sublimely ridiculous extreme. I have to believe that there was a better film on paper than ended up on the screen. I look forward to much better work from everyone involved in this, and I guess since this is seven years old by now? They have done much better! They can't all be great movies, I guess, but don't waste your time on this dog.
This is one of the worst films I have ever watched. I expected much more from a movie with Will Arnett and Kristen Wiig who have been so funny in other shows. It proves that actors alone can't save a badly written movie.SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! It was so cliché and predictable. At the end of the movie, I knew that the baby was going to be black. Surprise surprise. That's never been done before! I also knew that his father (Lee Majors) would come out of the coma at the end. Another non-surprise. Predictable and not funny.I have advice for anybody who liked movie. Watch it again when you're not 12 years old.
I don't have much background info,on Will Artnett,or Will Forte. That being said,I managed to laugh quite a bit during this film,it's wonderfully moronic,while being hilarious at the same time. The stupid things they do,like seeing each other naked in the shower,or the way they talk,we all just can't help but laugh at it. The whole idea is absolutely absurd. Having John and Dean learn to be father's,while being completely incompetent,is certainly out there. But they managed to make it quite amusing,so that was pretty impressive. It's quite crude at times,but never too crude,to where it turns the viewer off,like Bruno ,persay. The Brothers Solomon isn't gonna make your world spin,it won't become one of your favorite comedies of all time either,but it will brighten up your day,it will take a load off,and provide you with some much needed laughs.Performances. Will Arnett&Will Forte are both very funny,very likable. They make an excellent comedy team,that we can all like. Here's hoping,we get to see them again,sometime soon. Chi McBride is a funny character actor,and here is no different. Kristen Wiig does her job well,I quite liked her,even if she was bitchy at some points. Malin Akerman had a snobby written role,but who cares when you look like she does?. Rest of the cast are fine.Bottom Line. This is a fun little comedy. It has laughs,spirit,and most importantly it's fun to watch. Worth the watch6/10
In a nutshell, this movie is laughalicious!... After watching it for the first time, my brothers and I all agreed that it's an instant comedy classic! I rank it right up there with Anchorman, Night at the Roxbury, Super Troopers, and Out Cold. I love the over-the-top humor topped off with the brothers' creepy shenanigans. I love how socially awkward John (Will Arnett) is throughout the movie... ie, opening scene at the grocery store, demanding the bowl be returned, the hallway dinner for two, the post-shower hug. Maybe I have a twisted sense of humor, but I can't believe the undeserved low ratings people have given this movie. Gives me some hope that there's other hidden gems out there that are epically hilarious!!!
