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

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 don't have much background info,on Will Artnett,or Will Forte. That being said,I managed to laugh quite a bit during this film,it's wonderfully moronic,while being hilarious at the same time. The stupid things they do,like seeing each other naked in the shower,or the way they talk,we all just can't help but laugh at it. The whole idea is absolutely absurd. Having John and Dean learn to be father's,while being completely incompetent,is certainly out there. But they managed to make it quite amusing,so that was pretty impressive. It's quite crude at times,but never too crude,to where it turns the viewer off,like Bruno ,persay. The Brothers Solomon isn't gonna make your world spin,it won't become one of your favorite comedies of all time either,but it will brighten up your day,it will take a load off,and provide you with some much needed laughs.
Performances. Will Arnett&Will Forte are both very funny,very likable. They make an excellent comedy team,that we can all like. Here's hoping,we get to see them again,sometime soon. Chi McBride is a funny character actor,and here is no different. Kristen Wiig does her job well,I quite liked her,even if she was bitchy at some points. Malin Akerman had a snobby written role,but who cares when you look like she does?. Rest of the cast are fine.
Bottom Line. This is a fun little comedy. It has laughs,spirit,and most importantly it's fun to watch. Worth the watch
6/10

I rented this movie, not expecting all that much, although I am a big fan of Bob Odenkirk's work. But frankly, the whole family laughed their asses off, popcorn and dead bird definitely being a highlight, with the sky banner scene near the end being a close runner-up. This is pure comedy, close to Dumb and Dumber territory, but without the standard movie heist/love interest subplots that Hollywood puts into comedies like this to get "normal people" to watch them. This is the rare comedy that doesn't compromise on its mission, which accounts for the various "stupid" write-off reviews you'll see here in the user comments. This is one of those love-it-or-hate-it situations, and we're in the love-it camp. It's obviously not for everyone, and, I have to say, a lot of it was horribly lit, but if you're a fan of Mr. Show and St. Elmo's Fire, you might find this as hilarious as we did.
This movie reminded me a lot of Dumb and Dumber. Two dumb brothers that have no luck with the ladies decide they need to have a child for their comatose father. They are annoying and quite disgusting at times. This movie was not laugh out loud funny, but was amusing at times. I really liked the airplane banner at the end. That was funny. In the beginning they buy women groceries in hopes of getting phone numbers. But no such luck. One of the brothers ask a woman to marry him on the first date. They just don't get the dating game. But of course think they are cool. There were many more silly things throughout the film.
FINAL VERDICT: This is for people who like all those silly Jim Carrey films. So check it out, if you fall in that category.

- TriviaWill Forte had a piece of boiled okra in his mouth to create the drool during the kissing scene.
- GoofsWhen the brother's mention that they were raised in the Arctic, a line of text appears on screen that reads "0 degrees Latitude / 0 degrees Longitutde", but that is incorrect; the North Pole is at 90 degrees Latitude, while the Equator is at 0 degrees Latitude.

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.
