Consensus: Squandering its impressive cast with poorly-directed gags, The Brothers Solomon is a one-joke film stretched well beyond its limits.
Theatrical Release: Sep 7, 2007 Wide
Box Office: $900,926
Synopsis: SNL's Will Forte co-writes and stars in this raucous comedy alongside ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT's Will Arnett. Dean and John Solomon are very close. In fact, they are so close that they live together in a baby-blue apartment, even as adults.... [More]

Director: Bob Odenkirk

Reviews for The Brothers Solomon
...benefits from the inclusion of several genuinely funny whacked-out bits of comedy...

The story makes no sense, and the two lead characters are repulsive, but I must confess I laughed immoderately at this clever piece of junk.
12/03/07
Disappointing comedy that takes a single joke and attempts to stretch it over an entire movie, with predictably poor results.
11/03/07
Odd-couple comedy that tries much too hard and, in other ways, not hard enough.

Top Critic Oh, brother! Firing blanks in every direction, this tedious vehicle for two hard-to-like comedians is stillborn from the off.
11/02/07
Direction is undistinguished, and the editing leaves far too much room for laughs that never arrive.
11/02/07
A series of musty gross-out gags ranging in sophistication from sperm bank hijinks to sloppy man-on-man kissing, Bob Odenkirk’s cringemaker-with-a-heart is a ragged Xerox of Dumb And Dumber that seems incredibly creaky after the summer of Superbad.

The only amusement here comes from counting the imaginary tumbleweeds that so frequently roll across the screen.

Audiences will need an epidural to endure the excruciating pain of watching this geek-and-jerk combo stumble through three trimesters.

Top Critic Imagines what might happen if Rod and Todd Flanders grew up and decided to have a surrogate child together.

Indeed the exercise in barely-organized stupidity that it appears to be.

What feels like a three-hour descent into boredom is only a 90-minute test of might -- pitting you against unlikable characters, horribly written dialogue, and direction that's as painful as a root canal.
