Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Will Arnett--whose performance on the late, lamented TV show Arrested Development was sheer genius--seeks a movie vehicle that will similarly serve his unique comic flavor. His latest effort is The Brothers Solomon, a freewheeling festival of absurdity about two brothers--John (Arnett) and Dean Solomon (Will Forte, Saturday Night Live)--who were raised by their father (Lee Majors, The Six Million Dollar Man) in polar isolation. As a result, their social skills are questionable, but they make up for it with their relentlessly positive outlook. When their father falls into a coma, they decide to honor his wish to have a grandchild and set out to find mates. The escapades that follow have the shape of humor, but are not, for the most part, exactly funny, though they are often oddly compelling--or at least make you curious as to what could possibly come next. Kristen Wiig, hysterically funny in a bit part in Knocked Up, is largely wasted in a straight role as the surrogate mother the brothers end up hiring. Malin Akerman (The Heartbreak Kid) plays a helpful yet snooty neighbor; her scene in a bikini will be essential viewing for her more lust-ridden fans. Directed by Bob Odenkirk of Mr. Show fame, who directed the similarly peculiar Let's Go to Prison. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

When their dying father (Lee Majors) wishes to meet his first grandchild before he meets his maker, the Solomon brothers (Will Arnett and Will Forte) find it's easier said than done. Raised in the female-free Arctic wilderness, the lads have no idea how to even talk to a woman, let alone convince her to have a baby. Realizing the future of their family lies in their hands, the clueless duo set out to make a baby for Dad. Kristen Wiig co-stars in this wild and crazy comedy about two guys who'll do whatever it takes to give their father an heir.

5.0 out of 5 stars You had me at "Odenkirk" January 3, 2008
By Janvil
Format:DVD
Ok so like, I was a huge fan of the Ben Stiller Show and Mr. Show and SNL was never as funny as when Odenkirk was active there. So of course now I have "Let's Go to Prison" and now "The Brothers Solomon" in my collection. Ironically, for both movies I wasn't too impressed with the first time I watched each. But there's something about Odenkirk's movies that when you watch them the second time that you realize just how hilarious they are! What's up with that? Or is it just me?

Once I realized that this movie REALLY IS Dumb & Dumber part 3 the movie had me in stitches almost non-stop. Coen and Farelly brothers beware, Odenkirk is on the prowl! Rawr! :D McBride almost steals every scene hes' in in Odenkirk's flicks. From eskimo kisses to a sobbing janitor I think McBride's roles are essential for the success of both films. So far the combo of Odenkirk, Arenett and McBride has worked. I wonder what awaits next from Odenkirk? If nothing then I'm fine with that, these movies are keepers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than I thought it would be. February 21, 2009
By Amber
Format:DVD
Normally, I hate these types of comedies, finding them to be too stupid to sit through. I happened across this movie by chance earlier tonight, and something made me stop and watch it. There were a couple of times when I turned away, but I found myself turning back to it, and actually starting to care about what happened. I even found myself smiling at the end, which was unexpected! For a stupid, run-of-the-mill modern comedy, this was pretty good. It's not ever going to be on my list of favorites, but I would not be adverse to watching it again. Good for those times when I don't really want to think too hard about what I am watching, but I still want to feel good at the end of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably Not What You're Expecting.... December 26, 2007
Format:DVD
Give this movie a shot. It isn't over-the-top, you won't laugh until you fart and then spill popcorn in your lap. The humor is mostly subtle, dry, honest, but at times, edgy.

At the core of this movie are two innocent, loveable and awkward brothers who would do anything to make their dying father happy. Not to mention, it doesn't hurt to have two of the funniest actors currently working in the industry as the main characters.

So while it isn't entirely "Dumb & Dumber", it is almost as enjoyable.

This one is hard to stomach at times, however, the honest comedy is next to none. So pure and just hysterical.

This movie is f-ing hilarious! Such a weird abstract humor... I loved it. Definitely for goof-balls and quirky eccentrics. The brothers solomon is a great film.

The comparisons to Dumb and Dumber just don't make sense-- I suppose, though, anyone who uses D&Der as a benchmark for a funny movie is likely to have different tastes than I, so... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars What a Tag Team!
The great thing about this movie is that Will Forte manages to upstage Will Arnett. I really got a kick out of these characters, but especially Will Forte's character. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars horrible movie
This movie is as bad as it can be. Script, director of the movie and actors are not qualified for a movie release. It was horrible. Waste of time.

Like most modern comedies, this film aims to be senseless, absurd and go for the easy laugh. This film stars 2 obnoxious characters who are blind to the fact they are losers. Read more
