3/5 Mediocre Film...
  by bordersj2 (Boston)
I saw this movie years ago and found it almost forgettable. I say 'almost' because there was one theme in it that for whatever reason I couldn't forget; because it was kind of goofy. The 'piece of food' gesture, where you just know he cares abotu you if he gives you the last piece of pizza, chicken wing, cookie, piece of cake, etc. Real words to live by....

The Amazon recap captures it pretty well. 4 yuppies come to terms with relationships and family issues. Morris Chestnut plays the lead with unresolved issues with his father that spills into his relationship with the new woman of his dreams (played by Gabrielle Union). Bill Bellamy's character has a problem with women in general, and then there's the one that's getting married. Finally, DL Hughely rounds out the cast as someone that's already married, only he struggles to get his wife to give... a different form of intimacy. There are some funny moments, some interesting twists and it's not a negative movie.

Spoilers follow: After seeing the movie again, I must admit that I found it more entertaining - but in a bad way. It almost flows like a poorly written novel loaded with cliche's. The worst? Let's be honest here - one character had wedding jitters. And he was probably a little dumb with the way he talked to his fiance. But did it really warrant, no matter how stupid he may have been, for her to run over to the house, in her wedding dress, and pump it full of bullets? They went ahead with the wedding but c'mon! The only 'committment' needed there was her and a psychiatric ward. Maybe him as well since he went ahead and married her... Heaven forbid he refuses to take the trash out one night; his morning coffee might be laced with cyanide - assuming he lived to see the morning light. So that's one example of the ridiculous spots in the movie, and that was perhaps supposed to be the climax. If beyond entertainment it's about relationships as well, it's a type of movie that would make me think: "You know, maybe it's less stressful (and not to mention healthier) being single." So this movie has 2.5 stars, rounded up to three because it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't that good either. If there are absolutely no other movies available to watch or th eones that are happen to be significantly worse, then check this out.

5/5 Heartwarming and insightful film
  by Derrick Dunn (Woodbridge,VA)
When I walked out of this movie back in 2001 I recall it made me think about how love is important in life. You can have a love life and still have time for your boys. "The Brothers" is a movie that combines elements of The Wood and Waiting To Exhale. The Brothers paled by Morris Chestnut(Jackson), D.L.Hughley(Derrick), Bill Belamy(Brian) and Shemar Moore(Terry) each have a quality that makes them special to the movie. Jackson is the commitment phobic brother who's scared to get involved with a women because of his parent failed marriage that is until he meets Denise played by the sexy Gabierlla Union. Derrick is the married one whose wife won't perform oral sex on him. Brian is the ulimate player whose can't find joy in black women so he turns to white women and Terry is a playboy who decides to go staright and marry his girlfriend. The movie is very real in it's portrayal of what black men go through when it comes to women. I related the most to Jackson though. I highly recomend this movie. See it with your girl , your boys or whoever. D.L and Bill steal every scene there in. Cliffton Powell and Jennifer Lewis are great in supporting roles.
