Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 09 Nov 2009

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Mark R. Leeper (892) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 27 Jun 2009

The film is fun, but the characters are not well developed. The audience has to be onboard not for the characters but for the twisty ride…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 11 Jun 2009

The Brothers Bloom operates on a much larger scale, a globe-hopping, visually dazzling caper comedy, but at heart it's just as in love with…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 06 Jun 2009

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Lori Hoffman (553) for Atlantic City Weekly (553) on 02 Jun 2009

Fueled by glorious performances all-around, The Brothers Bloom is a film with art-house accents and a strong emotional heart…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 02 Jun 2009

One of those movies that I wanted to see again the moment it was over -- and had this been anything other than a press screening where that…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Keith Cohen (225) for Entertainment Spectrum (633) on 28 May 2009

This globe-trotting romantic comedy is like going on a scavenger hunt where the fun is in the journey…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 28 May 2009

It's as much about society's need for a well-told story as it is about an emotional connection between its characters…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 28 May 2009

A confident and even touching bit of genre twisting, with its best moments providing plenty of anticipation for what else Johnson has up his sleeve…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Robert W. Butler (884) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 28 May 2009

It's diverting for an hour or so, but one tires of all this forced playfulness long before the final reveal…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for I.E. Weekly (269) on 27 May 2009

The Brothers Bloom is to precocious adventure movies what Crank is to action throwdowns; it finds the genre's limit and doubles it…

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 27 May 2009

Johnson's lube of choice is whimsy, and as the filmmaker pours an endless stream of cutesy behaviors and larger-than-life screenwriting into…

It probably takes a particular sensibility to really enjoy and appreciate The Brothers Bloom…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Steve Ramos (98) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 27 May 2009

A fun, fast-paced and fashionable caper adventure, and a worthy homage to such classic thievery comedies as Topkapi…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Joe Williams (923) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 27 May 2009

Although it's got a strong cast and visual panache, Johnson willfully dispenses with the caper complications that might have made it more fun…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Tony Macklin (521) for tonymacklin.net (414) on 26 May 2009

The Brothers Bloom jerks us around without end. The cons and twists pile up like debris…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 26 May 2009
