Ruffalo and Brody bring weight and a tinge of melancholy to the otherwise frivolous proceedings, though, by wisely underplaying their roles…

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 13 May 2009

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 May 2009

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 27 Apr 2009

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)
