One scene will be remembered as great, the rest will be remembered as great.. PAIN !
2 October 2011
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, however 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. Plus some of the most unfunny but noxious lines ever written, like: "When you poop that child"?? And it's starring the stillest man in the universe: Will Arnett. Well, I can stand Steven Seagal in a comedy, but Arnett? NOOOOOOOOOO!

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 great 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 un-laughable comedy, it's about being unbearable movie!

PS: Did you notice the movie's characters' love for going to the bathroom? In any case, don't ask why!
