Mi hermano ciego

Nick Kroll, Jenny Slate and Adam Scott? Sorry, but with those three on board it is literally impossible not to make an entertaining film. And this film is entertaining. No, it's not a classic, but few films are.

The movie tells the story of Bill (Kroll) and Robbie (Scott). Bill is going nowhere and living in the shadow of his celebrated brother (star athlete), who although blind, also happens to be an absolute self-absorbed jerk. Things are made worse when the girl (Slate) Bill is crazy about, becomes Robbie's girl as a result of a guilt trip related to her dead ex boyfriend.

I must admit, it is refreshing to see the "disabled" character turn out to be something other than an inspiring hero, although Robbie does raise money for his blind charity, but his motivation seems to be centered around his fevered ego. As previously said, breaking from the traditional narrative that all disabled people are saintly. People are people, regardless. The dynamic between Kroll and Slate is great, as it was in The Kroll Show. Scott's character is also great, who although flawed, is not completely irredeemable, but close.

If you want to see a talented cast be given a vehicle to show their stuff, this film is more than 90 minutes.

This started as a short film, with different actors, but was made into a full length film with nick kroll and adam scott. They have worked together on so many projects. Bill has supported his blind brother robbie in his challenges and races and marathons. But robbie asks so much of him. When bill finally tells robbie he doesn't want to be his coach, robbie says it's okay... he has a new coach. And it's rose, the girl who just slept with bill! Jenny slate also worked on "big mouth". The brothers love each other, but robbie is really taking advantage of bill, and treats him pretty badly. Rose should be telling robbie that she had dated bill first, but she doesn't have the courage. A funny moment where the blind guy doesn't get charged for smoking weed, but the sighted guy does. And a running gag where the blind guy keeps getting into the driver's seat and drives the car for a while. They need to start telling each other the truth sometime, but it's not easy to do. Written and directed by sophie goodhart. It's pretty good.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

Nick Krull, Adam Scott, and Jenny Slate carry this well together and are pretty funny. I'm torn on whether or not Scott's portrayal of a blind person is complimentary or insulting, but I'll have to wait until a blind person sees it to hear what they say.

The "best friend's girl" trope is fun, and they definitely make this movie special, even for "blind movies", the idea of him being an over-achieving athlete is very unique.

As funny as this movie can be, as much as a "romance" movie as this is, it is definitely a "bromance" movie first.

'MY BLIND BROTHER': Four Stars (Out of Five)

A romcom about an overachieving blind man, and his under-appreciated brother, that both fall for the same woman. The movie stars Adam Scott, Nick Kroll and Jenny Slate. It was written and directed by Sophie Goodhart. The film received an indie theatrical release at the Box Office, while it was also made available on video on demand, and it's received mixed review from critics as well. I found it to be mostly entertaining, and well made.

Robbie (Scott) is a blind man that's always trying to prove how much he can still do, despite his disability. He's become quite a cocky asshole because of it. His brother Bill (Kroll) is always forced to assist him on his ventures, while receiving none of the credit. So a very abusive relationship has formed between the two brothers. This only becomes more complicated when they both fall for the same woman (Slate).

The film is very darkly comedic, in a really clever and mostly believable way. The characters all seem like real people, and the performances are all great. This is one of those under-appreciated comedies that really does deserve a much wider audience than it's gotten. Hopefully more people will discover it over time. It's definitely worth a view, I'd say.

This film tells the story of a man who spends his life taking care of his over achieving blind brother, who seems to over shadow him in every way possible.

"My Blind Brother" is a funny comedy. If you look at it from the point of view of the blind brother, it's a pretty empowering and uplifting story. The blind brother gets unconditional support from the able sighted brother, which is touching. If you look at it from the perspective of the able sighted brother, then things are not as rosy. He has no life, no nothing. He doesn't even get any respect from anyone, or receive credit for anything he has done for the blind brother. I feel rather sorry for the able sighted brother.
