    For as stupid as it was, I did laugh out loud a few times. Probably because I miss Job from Arrested Development. Nothing says love like a diaper full of popcorn and dead duckling.

    The talent involved with The Brothers Solomon left the sky as the limit but it was just really disappointing. The consistency with Will Arnett and Will Forte's idiocy wasn't there and there is no fucking way in hell that Kristen Wiig should've ended up in the back seat as she's e...( read more)asily the funniest one in the cast. I never really found myself caring but I do applaud all involved for not going That Way with the neighbor across the hall. If you're expecting anything more than a Saturday Night Live skit that never made it out of the writers' room you're in for some serious disappointment.

    Holy shit! Weird. Cookie cutter. What's with the shock comedy kick? Every movie pulls that fucking card. Kinda entertaing for a movie that's not good

    I gotta say, this movie surprised me. I had thought for sure it would be one of the worst films of the year, but found myself laughing out loud frequently throughout the film. Its humor is out there... WAY out there, and just plain bizarre, but in exactly the ways that you woul...( read more)d expect coming from Wills Forte and Arnett. And it works. It's stupid, but surprisingly funny. Kristen Wiig and Chi McBride are also hilarious as the surrogate mother and her husband. I'd bet that many people who have trashed this film never saw it, or went in with their minds already made up.

    This is another one of those mediocre movies from some talented comedians. Will Forte and Will Arnett come together in this ridiculously stupid film in the most awkward way possible. While funny at times, it's really just a groan-worthy comedy to watch when there's nothing else o...( read more)n TV.

    Rarely is something so stupid it is funny. Even rarer is something so stupid that you laugh at first and then in retrospect you are mad at yourself for laughing. I am officially pissed at me.

    I don't even really want to post a review for this movie. The chemistry was terrible, the jokes were lame, and McBride wasn't even believable as a black man. The only brights spots in this movie were Jenna Fischer's cameo, and the combination of Arnett and Forte.

    this looks like an utter disaster

Who knew 'Dumb And Dumber' would turn out to be one of the most influential films of all time? full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

With The Brothers Solomon, Will Arnett continues to squander the goodwill he engendered as Gob on Arrested Development. full review
