Review of The Bros. (2007) by Keyser M — 20 Aug 2010
The Bros. is a Malibu's Most Wanted-type comedy based on an award winning short film. The film stars John Tindall and Jochaim Wiese as Lanny and Pete, two white brothers from a nice neighborhood who dream of becoming rappers and making it in the ghetto.
The only problem is they grew up not even knowing what the ghetto or thugs were. Their mom doesn't even get what they're doing when they're acting black. First, they think they should talk to a manager.
Second, they think they should rob a store. They rob a store run by owner Anthony (Joey Fatone, one of many hilarious celebrity cameos). The film manages to stay consistently funny. It helps that not only Joey Fatone but Ludicrous, Vanilla Ice, Shaquille O'Neal, Dennis Scott, and many more big name celebrities keep showing up.
The only complaint I have against the film is that the last half an hour or so just seems bland and dry. The jokes kind of wore out then. That said, I did manage to stay laughing through most of the movie, and I did like the movie quite a bit.
But that complaint is big because that complaint made me happy that a movie I liked was ending, and I don't like that feeling at all.
