Excellent movie for Urban Youth.....See is believing
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!
Superior
Loved this movie and I will definitely be going back again a 2nd time. This movie hits home to a lot of us Philadelphians. Me personally born and raised not having these actual situations happen in my life however I know a lot of individuals I grew up with that have experienced a lot of the actions that happened in the movie. I was taken by surprise at the end because I thought I had it all figured out.. Great Job Jamal Hill..
I am looking forward to your next project... Will there be a Brotherly Love 2?

Excellent Film!
I loved this movie, the story line, the actors and actresses and most definitely the music! I love emotional movies and this one did not fail to deliver. The depth of emotions were adequately displayed by a brilliant cast. I hope and pray the director (Jamal Hill) continues to provide and create more fabulous movies for the world to enjoy. It's a wonderful watch and I highly recommend it! You have real empathy for the actors and the situations that they find themselves in. What I took away from the movie was you never really, really know people. Treachery, lies, deceit, dishonesty, are traits we all possess at one time or another. But this film builds on the dreams and experiences of the characters and eloquently displays what can, does and will happen if you work hard and focus. Fabulous film. Definitely looking forward to Jamal Hill's next endeavor!
We need a sequel
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
A classic tale of family and love...great film.
Jamal Hill has done an exceptional job with this story of forbidden love. The cinematography is superb and Keke Palmer and Cory Hardrict do an outstanding job. The narrative is very compelling. A great cast and production. Starting with a twist on the "typical" tale of a school girl crush, Brotherly Love takes us to the great streets of Philly with a new but still classic tale. The soundtrack is another great asset to the film and overall I very much enjoyed this film. This film made me think of a classic films Aaron Loves Angela, Cooley High and believe it or not, even Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Macy Gray per usual is always a delight to see as she plays the mother of Jackie (Palmer), Sergio (Eric D. Jill, Jr.) and June. Quincy Brown (also in DOPE) is a great male, love interest. I am looking forward to more films from Jamal Hill and also from Flavor Unit films.
