Brotherly Love

Are you serious?! I was SO not expecting that!

Going through Netflix the other night looking for a background distraction while cleaning, I came across this movie, Brotherly Love. I'm from Philly, so why not check it out?

Usually, I read about a movie before watching it. But, I read no synopsis, no reviews, and didn't care to know who was cast in this. Because the movie was just a distraction, I just hit the play and continued to clean.

And then it happened.

I stopped cleaning.

An unpredictable story line with an all-star cast kept me glued to the screen.

Great movies are simple in theory and challenging in execution. I imagine, to make a movie great, it requires two things: a good story and exceptional actors to tell it. This movie delivered on both.

----Who is this writer/director Jamal Hill? What else is he creating? How are there so many freakin' awesome actors in this ONE movie?!----

So, if you were wondering… no, I didn't finish my cleaning the other night. (I know you were wondering… yes, you were). Instead, I watched this movie, which had me thinking about it the next day, and the next, and the next.

We need more Mr. Hill. I'm just saying… we need more movies that command attention and that leave an impression. Very. Well. Done.

This movie was so good and Quincy played such a good role I hated him in real life. Love this movie. Just shows how you can never trust anyone! We need a sequel and would love to see how their lives played out

In a movie that wasnt even popular, what is the reason to put reviews saying 'exceptional' things, you wont earn anything from this. most 10* reviewers have only reviewed this film that nobody knows about haha its so funny...

Just a regular usa gangsters war of neighbourhoods. Nothing really to see here, an average movie. it was barely ok i really cant find anything to write about the movie

Went to see movie in Detroit because my daughters wrote the lead song "No Love", written by Anesha and Antea Birchett. Even though the last name was spelled wrong for Antea (spelled it Birches :-(( I must say the movie is a must see for younger people (and older adults) growing up today facing the inner city struggles of peer pressure, and things that can "knock you off your square". In fact Parents if you want to score big see it with your kids. I am a job developer in the inner city of Detroit working with young adults referred by the Michigan Dept. of Human Services. I'm hoping to be able to show this movie (as required viewing) to our participants in a workshop. I give it a 10 just because of the unexpected twist that I totally didn't see coming.

Need to see this flick, drama, comedy, and action with a surprise ending!!!!! You won't be disappointed. This is an excellent movie to take a teen for a learning lesson about the choices they make and the consequences that come along with them. I have seen this movie twice and plan to see it again with family and friends. And haven't seen a urban movie like this with substance and a positive message in years. Superb writing and directing by Jamal Hill. Fantastic acting by the cast Keke Palmer, Cory Hardrict, Quincy Brown, Eric Hill Jr., Romeo Miller and Macy Gray. Produced by Queen Latifah. Two thumbs up on this one!
