Steineded How sad is this?

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

vincentlynch-moonoi I have to admit that there are a couple of actors here that I really enjoy. But even beyond that, I really liked this film...both times I watched it.Morris Chestnut is a long-time favorite of mine. There are times that he seems to mumble a bit...and I see that a little bit here...but generally his acting is believable. Shemar Moore...this may have been the first movie I ever saw him in. A good actor. Gabrielle Union gets my vote as the most beautiful actress in Hollywood...and she's good, although she's a much better actress now than she was 17 years ago. I thought Bill Bellamy did a good job here, although to an extent his character was not very likable. Not sure why I've never noticed him before. I like D.L. Hughley as a comedian although he's certainly gone wild with tattoos lately), but I can't say that he was able to keep up with the other actors here. The story line was decent, although having four separate story lines was a bit too much. The story line around Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union was the most interesting, and could have been a film in and of itself. The story line with Shemar Moore, likewise, could have been a film unto itself. The story line with Bill Bellamy was clearly secondary to the overall film, and as a result got short shrift. And the story line with D.L. Hughley just seemed vulgar.In terms of supporting actors, Jennifer Lewis (whom many of us recognize most from "Blackish") is a hoot, although I wonder if she is typecasting herself.All in all, an enjoyable film.

Python Hyena The Brothers (2001): Dir: Gary Hardwick / Cast: Morris Chestnut, Bill Bellamy, Shemar Moore, D.L. Hughley, Gabrielle Union: Effective drama about strong bond by four friends that is threatened with evaporation by women. One of them is getting married so they assemble on the basketball court to discuss old glory days. Director Gary Hardwick brings great insight and creates realistic characters with depth. On the down side it is easily predictable where each individual or relationship will result in obvious conclusions. Morris Chestnut plays a lawyer who falls in love with a woman who had a previous fling with his father. Shemar Moore is engaged but has cold feet. D.L. Hughley is married but sexually frustrated with his wife, which sometimes leads to amusing moments particularly in dialogue. Bill Bellamy drinks because he is afraid of commitment but he certainly isn't afraid of an active dating life. They all carry baggage but their bonding friendship is their escape as they vent their frustrations. The budget is not overwhelming, which gives the film the appeal of a standard drama often made for TV. Beyond that the screenplay effectively details these characters to where viewers may relate. Despite its predictable outcomes the film is a detailed look at four lives and the changes they made and the friendships that draw them together. Score: 8 / 10

mjarvis0 I bought this DVD some years ago watched it and liked it. Then as of the date of this comment I took it out and watched it again. This movie is good because it takes real issues and tackles them in a funny but real way. There are brothers out there that will date the anglo saxon ladies and there are married couples who have sex lives that are not is sync. Off course there are men with commitment issues and many sons who have been let down by their fathers and feel destined to act in a similar way. The acting is superlative and all the actresses are so fine (I was especially bowled over by the judge) but in effect that is what makes this film so real. A man can land himself a veritable princess and still mess it up! This film deals with real issues in an enjoyable and funny way and deserves to be seen by more people.

harperdk Someone out there apparently doesn't like minorities... Vote a 1! This was a excellent movie about what guys go through, regardless of your color or ethnic background. You had to pretty boys (Moore/Chestnut) and two comedians (Hughley/Bellemy).Good movie for those you enjoy looking into what guys think/act/carry on!
