The Brothers Solomon review

Reviews

Nov 2nd 2007 By Total Film

John (Will Arnett) and Dean (Will Forte) Solomon are nitwit siblings with absurdly inflated egos and all the social graces of puppy killers. When dad (weird-bearded Lee Majors, who spends the entire running time unconscious, yet still emerges as the funniest character) suddenly falls ill, it’s up to the bros to grant his dying wish – a grandchild. No easy feat, considering the boys’ ability to send women screaming from the room. Basically 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.
