Brothers from Malta

Fabulous, fun ... and you don't have to be Maltese to love it! So many classic family and sibling situations that are so funny and are so relatable across all cultures (even had my German husband laughing and nodding throughout).

It's heart-warming entertainment pure, with deep family messages and yes, there's a dog in it too.

The authenticity of the film is so apparent in so many little aspects - from the absolutely authentic Maltese characters and their accents to the old family photos from Malta, and also the interior decorating style of Jo's home.

This is definitely the best way to embrace your inner Maltese in a cinematic way. A good-feel movie with cultural depth and a big warm Maltese heart!

All that leaves to be said is that I'm now waiting for "Brothers from Malta 2: Roxie rules".

I took my mum and mother in law to see the movie. We laughed from start to finish. Loved all the Maltese references, especially 'The Maldives' reference. It's really nice to see movies being made for the Maltese community as this is rare. Hopefully the movie will be released in Melbourne again as I am sure the Maltese community in the west would support it. Would love for the producer to create a movie in Maltese next. Is there any chance of this happening? Would recommend to all 2nd generation Maltese.

Go and see the movie - you won't be disappointed. Thank you to Julian and the family, including Roxy.

What a great story about two hard headed brothers with a soft heart brought together by a loving sister . It defines the Maltese culture. Caring, loving, with a twist of hot temper and stubbornness. When you sit back listening carefully you get to absorb and understand the funny punch lines that where so cleverly put together. I highly recommend that every Maltese or Maltese connected person to go and see brothers from Malta. I probably would have liked to see a little more relating to the father and mother and a little more dialogue in Maltese however for a low budget movie with a small cast the Galeas managed to get the point across. " life is too short to hold a grudge"

Proset.

Just watched this very funny movie and highly recommend if your Maltese or not... most people know at least one Maltese person in their lives and Julian and James have depicted their real life family members in a well written, entertaining and edited movie. I'm Maltese and found it wonderful to finally relate to characters on a big screen from my mother land. I thought the story line was clever and could imagine these two Maltese gents taking a real trip like the one in the movie. Even the cute dog in film was a star! Great to see Julian bring these characters to main stream and keep the Maltese culture in Australia alive. Thankyou Julian and James.

I felt like I was watching my own family up there, it almost brought a tear to my eye.

Well done Julian for being able to show us the fundamental importance of the family unit, (even a dysfunctional one like Joe & Charlie) and then mix it in with some very light hearted rancour that played on the multicultural antics of Maltese people living in a Western country like Australia or the US.

A must watch movie for those who still appreciate a well thought out story and script and who dread having to watch another meaningless empty Hollywood Sci-fi superhero movie which seems to be in the majority these days.
