Meanwhile, the shy cub becomes the beloved companion of the governor's lonely young son, until an accident forces the family to give him away to a man who resolves to break his gentle nature and turn him into a fighter for sport.

    A cute film about tigers suddenly ups a notch with Guy Pearce's entrance into the arena. Young Freddie Highmore also impresses. Everyone will get something from this film. This especially goes for those who love The Jungle Book, tigers and cute animals doing cute things. The loca...( read more)tions are incredible as well, particularly Angkor Wat. Oddly emotional and family friendly. Except, wait for the little footnote at the end of the film, very poignant.

    Two tigers are separated as cubs and taken into captivity, only to be reunited years later as enemies by an explorer (Pearce) who inadvertently forces them to fight each other.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Noteworthy because it represents a kind of fevered moviemaking insanity that we rarely see these days. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A beautiful film, but it's also a troubled one. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There is a lot in Two Brothers I admire. Families will not go wrong in attending this film. Some kids will think it's one of the best movies they've seen. My objections are of a sort that won't occur,... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

The Bear was a little too cutesy for my taste, but director Jean-Jacques Annaud gets the tone right this time. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's an unabashed feel-good film, but a surprisingly intelligent one that honestly earns each smile and every tender moment. full review

    You get to follow this to cute Tigers through there life. How diffrent they get beacause of mans influence. The cute story has a sad reallity. Even if the story has kind of a sad beginning it really has a happy and beautiful ending. So if you lvoe Tigers this film is a most!

    Highly recommended! A masterpiece family film that tugs at your heart strings featuring some of the most incredible footage of tigers. A highly endangered species, what will we tell our children when there are no more tigers?
