Description: Based on a festival award-winning (9 total) short film, THE BROS. chronicles the adventures of underachieving misfits Pete and Lanny, a pair of wannabe "gangsta rappers," who find the constraints of suburbia stifling to their artistic goals. Faced with the obstacle of needing "ten large" to finance a studio recording session, the bros. resort to an all-night crime spree that nets them a ten-thousand-dollar reward for their own crimes, thanks to a bizarre twist of fate.
Underappreciated When I first went to my friend's house to watch a movie, I was a tad surprised when this was produced, and I immediately went into it with the very lowest of expectations when it he described as "a more real 'Malibu's Most Wanted'", and figured it was another awful comedy movie about white people behaving moronically.
But to my surprise, I enjoyed this movie thoroughly and was entertained throughout. It's truly one of the funnier movies I have ever seen. I think a number of these reviews fail to see the irony in it; but whatever.
This movie is definitely worth the watch especially when you can consider you can buy it for a mere 3$.
Don't do it!!!! I can honestly say this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life, and i've seen a bunch.
The story is poor, the acting is poor, the directing is poor. I'm not even going to try and sell my copy because i can not be responsible for inflicting this amount of pain on another person.
Do yourself a favor, watch something else.
One star for the picture quality The sound is poor, the story is poor, the dialogue is poor. I bought the disc for Arielle Kebble. She's in less than 5% of it.
Recommend this one This Director is one to watch. An fresh new story line about white rappers, with a satisfying twist at the end. Lots of music, good ironic comedy. Especially like the cameos and supporting cast.
If you liked FRIDAY, you'll love THE BROS. I saw The Brothers at a film festival in London a couple of years ago. Nice to see the film got a nice DVD release. THE BROS. is a very funny, raunchy biting kind of comedy. Lot's of bad language and pot-smoking and criminal misbehavior. Kind of like a "white guys" version of the film FRIDAY. If you're into that type of film, I highly recommend this one.
The film has a lot of great cameos from Shaq, Ludacris, Carrot Top, Cindy Margolis, Vanilla Ice, etc. in a mockumentary portion. But the film's stars, John Tindall, Joachim Wiese, and Dennis Scott really put out fantastic performances. Keep an eye on these guys.
This is NOT another "Malibu's Most Wanted." It has a brain, heart and soul.
