The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

John and Dean Solomon are two guys that have been away from civilization for too long. After their mother died, their father Ed, decided to take them to the North Pole where the boys wanted to live and gave them a home education. The result of their upbringing created two guys that are misfits in a society such as ours where being cool is the norm. These brothers have no clue as to how to act.When Ed Solomon collapses into a coma, the boys decide to bring him home together with all the medical paraphernalia that will keep him alive. In one lucid moment John and Dean figure what could be best to get the father out of his condition? They decide it must be a baby that will restore his lost health because of the joy it will give the old man. The only problem is these guys do not know how to create it."The Brothers Solomon", directed by Bob Odenkirk, a man that has been among the writers for Saturaday Night Live and has been involved in a lot of television. The comedy was written by one of the stars, Will Forte, who plays Dean Solomon. This is a picture that is obviously not for everybody, and, judging by the negative comments submitted to this forum, has equal amounts of lovers and haters. Some of the gags work better than others. The director gets deadpan acting from the two principals that deliver their lines with a straight face.Will Arnett and Will Forte play the inane brothers with gusto. To their credit, both actors are never obnoxious. This is a perfect party movie when friends are looking for a few laughs enjoying a cold beer. Kristen Wiig, also of S.N.L., Malin Ackerman, Chi McBride and Lee Majors, who never utters a word, are seen in supporting roles.

I don't have much background info,on Will Artnett,or Will Forte. That being said,I managed to laugh quite a bit during this film,it's wonderfully moronic,while being hilarious at the same time. The stupid things they do,like seeing each other naked in the shower,or the way they talk,we all just can't help but laugh at it. The whole idea is absolutely absurd. Having John and Dean learn to be father's,while being completely incompetent,is certainly out there. But they managed to make it quite amusing,so that was pretty impressive. It's quite crude at times,but never too crude,to where it turns the viewer off,like Bruno ,persay. The Brothers Solomon isn't gonna make your world spin,it won't become one of your favorite comedies of all time either,but it will brighten up your day,it will take a load off,and provide you with some much needed laughs.Performances. Will Arnett&Will Forte are both very funny,very likable. They make an excellent comedy team,that we can all like. Here's hoping,we get to see them again,sometime soon. Chi McBride is a funny character actor,and here is no different. Kristen Wiig does her job well,I quite liked her,even if she was bitchy at some points. Malin Akerman had a snobby written role,but who cares when you look like she does?. Rest of the cast are fine.Bottom Line. This is a fun little comedy. It has laughs,spirit,and most importantly it's fun to watch. Worth the watch6/10

In a nutshell, this movie is laughalicious!... After watching it for the first time, my brothers and I all agreed that it's an instant comedy classic! I rank it right up there with Anchorman, Night at the Roxbury, Super Troopers, and Out Cold. I love the over-the-top humor topped off with the brothers' creepy shenanigans. I love how socially awkward John (Will Arnett) is throughout the movie... ie, opening scene at the grocery store, demanding the bowl be returned, the hallway dinner for two, the post-shower hug. Maybe I have a twisted sense of humor, but I can't believe the undeserved low ratings people have given this movie. Gives me some hope that there's other hidden gems out there that are epically hilarious!!!

Will Forte and Will Arnett make for a duo of blubbering idiots. These two go out of their way to make things as crazy and difficult as possible. Who ever heard of going to Craigslist and hiring somebody to have your baby? Well, maybe you have but I have not.The 'boys' go all out and I mean all out. The hospital equipment in the apartment, the over-done baby's room, the super-long skywriting. All of it was original and somewhat funny.Its not a bad movie. But a third Will, Will Ferrell, would have made it 10X better. Heck, even adding Bill Cosby would have made it better. But I doubt he would have allowed himself to be in this after Leonard Part 6. Overall, slightly above average. "C+"
