Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, and Peter Dinklage in Brothers
From the folkloric tales of Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus, or Set and Osirus, to films like The Godfather Part II,Step Brothers, or F9, brotherly relationships are often mined for a competitive sort of love that can fuel comedy and tragedy alike. Max Barbakow made waves directing the surprisingly excellent comedy Palm Springs, which premiered to popularity and critical acclaim thanks to its surprising high-concept approach to comedy and talented leads in Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti.
Brolin and Dinklage Excel In the Too-Safe 'Brothers' Based on a script by Macon Blair, Brothers has a very different feel from Barbakow's prior cinematic outing. Whereas Palm Springs felt entirely fresh and novel, Brothers sits comfortably beside several criminal capers of the Logan Lucky or Guy Ritchie variety . There's a lot of charm baked into the dialogue, and interesting moments and turns as the film progresses, and it's capably directed with excellent comedic timing.

'Brothers' Is A Breezy Comedy in Need of Innovation Brothers is a largely enjoyable comedy, predominantly thanks to its talented central duo and smart direction by Barbakow, though it admittedly suffers from a host of issues baked into the script itself. Important characters are underutilized in ways that lessen tension while others feel like needless detours .
