They should make Charles
Manson and The Son of Sam watch this movie every single day of their
lives
until they feel sorry for what they have done.
Will Arnett and Will Forte
star as John and Dean Solomon – two home schooled brothers
who lost their
mother at a young age. Now,
their
father, Ed (Lee “They wouldn’t give me a guest
starring role on the new Bionic
Woman TV show, so I am stuck doing this” Majors) has slipped
into a coma, and
the boys decide they need to give Dad a reason to live.
Of course, their plan is to get a woman
pregnant, so Dad can try to get out of his coma to be a grandfather.
Will these two morons find
some woman willing to harvest their seed?
The Brothers Solomon is the
worst comedy I have ever seen in my life.
It might have been funny if director Bob Odenkirk
and writer Forte
decided to make this into a parody of bad comedies, but it’s
just bad. Frankly,
it’s so bad I was worried I would
not make it out alive.
The dialogue is not funny.
The acting is not
funny.
The jokes are not funny.
The Brothers Solomon is a flat,
lifeless movie where people cursing is supposed to be the joke instead
of real
set ups, punch lines, wacky hijinx, slapstick antics and other comedic
techniques employed by good comedies that make you laugh.
Worst of all, the two
brothers come off like complete, over caffeinated morons with
absolutely no
redeeming values or characteristics at all.
We don’t learn much about these guys or
how they developed into the
pathetic figures they have become, which doesn’t give us any
reason to like
them when the story takes a turn and tells us we are supposed to feel
sympathy
for them and see the two outcastes as underdogs who deserve our support
and
love. Instead, they
don’t deserve the
$10 for the ticket nor the hour and half of our time wasted if you end
up in a
theater showing this movie. Both
Forte
and Arnett have done better work, so let’s hope neither one
makes this mistake
again.
Even the music is stupid!
