The Brothers Solomon


i watched the movie the brothers solomon tonight ... let me start by saying that this is one of the funniest movies i've seen in a while ... i guess the simplest way to describe it is that it's a male version of baby mama ...

will arnett (john solomon) and will forte (dean solomon) are brothers ... forte is also the one who wrote the movie by the way ... anyway so the two play extremely dorky brothers who live together ... one day they get a call from their dad telling them he's in the hospital and that they need to come as soon as they can ... but by the time they get there he's already slipped into a coma ... so they decide to give him a reason to recover ... by giving him a grandson ... but being extremely dorky they have a hard time finding anyone willing to have their baby ... so in the end they decide that the best way to go is to hire a surrogate mother ... played by forte's fellow snl cast member kirsten wiig ... and so as not to give the whole movie away ... let's just say the rest of the movie follows their pregnancy adventures...

the movie is absolutely hilarious ... i give it a 9/10 ... the plot's kind of lame and predictable but if you're going to watch this movie then you're only doing it for the laughs anyway ... not for anything else ... so you shouldn't care too much about that ...
