I would have given this movie a higher score if kept me laughing throughout the whole film. Don't misunderstand, there are HILARIOUS parts in this movie but as a whole, it deserves an average.
Will Arnet is amazing at being awkwardly hysterical, and I feel he really did his part. Will Forte though just didn't hold up his part of the deal I'm afraid.
One thing I thought was funny was how they are such horrible drivers, they may have hit five cars or so swerving around traffic and nobody said a thing about it. Something subtle like that really makes me laugh.
I must say though, the opening credits were the highlight of this movie. My sides were aching before the movie even started...but the rest of the movie just funny, not side splitting.
Worth a watch for sure

I had the opportunity to watch "The Brothers Solomon" for the second time here in 2021. Sure, I watched it back around 2007 or 2008, when it was relatively new, but I have to admit that I couldn't remember the movie. So as I had the opportunity to watch it again, of course I did so.
And I must say that "The Brothers Solomon" is definitely one of those comedy movies that just work out on just about every level. I had completely forgotten the storyline told in the movie, and I had forgotten just how amazingly funny both Will Arnett and Will Forte are.
The storyline told in "The Brothers Solomon", as written by Will Forte, is actually one that is every bit as funny as it is one that is entertaining. So Will Forte definitely churned out something good here with the script, and gave director Bob Odenkirk some solid material to work with.
There is just so many funny moments and scenes to be enjoyed throughout the course of this 2007 comedy, so I was laughing most of the time. That was something I enjoyed about the movie, because this is how comedy is done right.
Aside from the great comedy team of Will Arnett and Will Forte, then "The Brothers Solomon" also had the likes of Kristen Wiig, Chi McBride, Lee Majors, Bill Hader, Sam Lloyd and Bob Odenkirk on the cast list. So you really are in for a good treat with a stellar comedy cast.
Having returned to watch "The Brothers Solomon" was definitely a good move on my part, because this movie is just hilarious. And it is a great addition to the comedy genre.
I am rating "The Brothers Solomon" a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

If you find the opening credits funny, then you will love this wonderfully absurd film. Of course, if you're not in touch with your inner idiot, you will be bewildered and ask "Why is this funny?"
Like Charlie says in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory "candy doesn't have to have a point." This is a film that revels in its oddball stupidity.
Will Arnett is funny for me simply by his facial expressions and tone of voice (I often quote "Michael. Selfish, selfish Michael" in my head.) Will Forte (who also wrote) is adept at twisting audience's expectations, the two Solomon brothers completely unaware of their actions. Kirsten Wiig, a superb comedy actress, is in a relatively straighter role here, but still pulls it off well.
In short, if you want wit and sophistication, watch Robert Altman's The Player. If you want depth and moral ambiguity, watch Fight Club or A Clockwork Orange.
If you just want to amuse yourself laughing at idiots, this film will please no end.

Yes this movie began with everything amusing oddly, its about 2 men sibling John & Dean, where their mother is passed away when they little kid and then their former military dad raised them by homeschool. Their childhood was filled by what their dad thought at their residence without connecting with other human cause the was stayed in North Pole was before.
Then they grew up they return to society but with odd manner like their comman sense side's with opposite direction thats conclude odd humourism in this movie. This movie must got average rating because some people probabbly feel annoyance by this two main character, by me im feel slight odd but im enjoyed some of their funny scenes.
They found out their father in the Coma, then Doctor said about their father wishes dream to have a first grandchildren, they with.motivation and passionate about their father will, they worked hard to make the dream come true, started odd and clean soul journey of two uncomman senses brother to achieve their Dad dream. I thought this movie is just simple minded emptyness without good ending, im wrong, im cried for the climax scenes, give movie of chance and yeah the brother smile alot like that lately horror movie smile, i think they was the first invented the unnessary smile before the smile horror movie lol.

I had rather low expectations for this movie based on the IMDb rating. I was more than pleasantly surprised. This movie was extremely funny but does require an outside-the-box sense of humor.
I rarely watch a movie twice in a row (I think Finding Nemo or O Brother Where Art Thou was the last time), but I could not help seeing this one a second time. In fact, I'm getting so excited as I write this review that I may go watch it again.
Before you decide to watch this movie, realize that your enjoyment of The Brothers Solomon will hinder on these qualifications: 1. You probably should already appreciate the work of Will Arnett and Will Forte. 2. You don't care at all about the quality of the plot. 3. You are willing to tolerate the fact that many components of the plot are very unrealistic.

John Solomon: I literally can not wait to feel myself inside you!
Janine: Woah! The only thing you're going to feel yourself inside of is a cold Dixie cup.
Dean Solomon: Well that certainly doesn't make your vagina sound very appealing.
