ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

elvis316 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.

elshikh4 After the financial success of Dumb & Dumber (1994) as if a branch in the buddy comedy has been established. A branch where the comedy centers on not Mickey and Goofy, but 2 goofy goofs. Aside from growing as easy and tacky formula, I see that more than one goofy isn't a good idea in the first place. So in general those movies don't interest me. The Brothers Solomon though did interest me yet for not the right reasons ! Here's a possible nominee for the worst comedy ever. It has a real sick sense of humor (cutting off the electricity so the dad might die, imagining accidents for the baby, killing the fiancée by a bus, etc all of that made me disgusted and horrified), some of the most unfunny but noxious lines ever written ("when you poop that child", "enter a woman" ??!), and it's starring the silliest man in the universe : Will Arnett. Well, I can stand Steven Seagal in a comedy, but Arnett ? NOOOOOOOOOOOO !By the way during all the time Will Arnett and Will Forte look, especially Arnett, so gay. Enough to say that when I watched the channel's trailer for the movie I thought it's a comedy about 2 gay men who want to adopt a child to win something. Maybe that look was intended for them as ironic; while portraying 2 desperate-to-get-marry men. However it didn't make me laugh !Just look at the opening credits. It's all about the 2 leads' smiling faces ?!!! When you make an intro like this it mirrors an excessive confidence, not to mention being so boring and a prophecy of ridiculousness. In that campy manner the movie walks. It thinks itself so comic, with talented charismatic stars, that anything they may do would hit rightly, while it's a wrong thinking form the start !The only survivor is – strangely – one heck of a scene. Yes, as you have guessed earlier I'm sure, it's the message by the plane. So finally this movie "knows" about comedy. The real cleverness and originality of that part must make you ask why the rest of the movie looked the way it was ?!! In the Dumb & Dumber movies lately, The Brothers Solomon is the most ugly and tormenting. It's rather made by the Dumb & Dumber of the movie-makers. I hated watching it. It's not about being unlaughable comedy, it's about being unbearable movie ! P.S : Did you notice the movie's characters' love for going to the bathroom ? In any case, don't ask why !

Greatornot I truly do believe this was a very average film. Very original gags and a film improvised nicely. Acting was actually very good. The stunt with the flyover message... Simply wonderful. OK now for the bad news. Aside from the flyover gag, the film was just not funny. Lee Majors lying around as the comatose dad, nice touch , but still not funny. The film crew from top to bottom worked hard to put out a credible film. It was not a cheap ripoff or one of those dollar 99 sequel specials. The movie was simply a bad film. I am being overly generous in my rating because the acting was good and as I have mentioned original gags. Good plot- 2 dumb and dumber bros trying to adopt a kid for their dying dad, but just not funny. Oh well, better luck next time Will and Will.

what_a_fat_pigeon I try and like all comedies I watch, I appreciate that it's not easy to be funny and therefore they should be given a fair chance. So I watched this all the way through and felt like crying at the end. Not because it's emotional, but because I had literally wasted $6 hiring it. The only good things I can say about this film is the fact that Tara is Hot, James saves the comedy aspect of it, and that the "Magic Numbers" song during the end credits is one of the best songs committed to film for a long time. I'm sorry to slate the actors, but Will Ferrel, Jim Carrey, John C. Riley, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, literally ANYONE, would have been better in this film then the two Wills. I only hired it because the advert before another film I'd hired seemed relatively funny, I will try my hardest not to make the same mistake twice.
