Reviews
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
smooth_op_85 The Brothers is a classic tale of boys becoming men.Morris Chesnut is Jackson Smith, a successful pediatrician and leading man of the crew who gets involved with Denise (Gabrielle Union) his Mom is played by Jennifer Lewis and sister is Tatiana Ali best known as Ashley from Prince of Bel-Air Shemar Moore is Terry White, womanizer and we're lead to believe he's a ladies man...which by his looks, we don't doubt. He's getting engaged to Bebe, a woman who's at the gun range 3x/wk D.L. Hughley is Derrick West who has allowed his wife to control the terms of their relationship instead of it being a partnership. He also wants to get a need fulfilled by his wife that she won't fill Bill Bellamy is Brian Palmer a womanizer in the other direction of Terry. No charm, no guile no wit...he gives up on dating black women and is trying to get through to his mother (who was on Scrubs as Nurse Laverne) So the 4 come together every week to play basketball and air out their life issues with candor and a lot of laughs! This movie is well done, and true to life as I've seen it. Great writing, storytelling is on point and the depth of the characters...at least the ones we're supposed to care about stands out among other films Great film I rate it a 9 out of 10
Movie-Guru Only a few words can describe this film: Typical, DeJa VuTypical African-American standared fare. Chock full of stereotypes, cliches, its nothing we havn't seen already. On a more personal note, I don't say this because I am prejudice, but these types of movies are all the same. 1/2 - 5.
BEAUTIFULTIFF82 I really though that The Brothers was a wonderful and positive movie. We as African Americans complain so much about what the black male isn't doing or what he's not being allowed to do, when he finally does something positive what do we do? We don't support him because we're to busy saying what he did wrong and not supporting what he did right. In my opinion the movie was excellent and something i'm sure alot of guys can relate to. I give Gary Hardwick two thumbs up for directing and writing an excellent movie.
harperdk Someone out there apparently doesn't like minorities... Vote a 1! This was a excellent movie about what guys go through, regardless of your color or ethnic background. You had to pretty boys (Moore/Chestnut) and two comedians (Hughley/Bellemy).Good movie for those you enjoy looking into what guys think/act/carry on!
