Probably the funniest movie I've seen about sibling rivalry.The comedy is funny and over-the-top, but the naturalistic acting style makes it feel more real than it should.Ultimately, this movie is about characters. Like having a camera spying on a pair of adult brothers in a love/hate relationship that act like children when they are around each other.It's a low-key independent movie, so if you don't need big name actors and lots of computer graphics to keep your attention then it's quite entertaining.If you didn't like this flick than you just don't understand the ins and outs of having a brother.Overall it was hilarious and heartfelt. An indie movie at its best.

I grabbed this as an iTunes 99 cent rental based on the trailer.Aside from Swingers, this was quite possibly the worst production value I've seen in a film with this kind of distribution. The audio quality was terrible, the lighting was amateur, the editing was simple, and overall, it was just really low budget.But I watched the entire film and laughed the entire time. The acting was great, the script was fantastic, and the characters were perfect. The location could not have been better for the story, and the use of music (i.e. Dr. Dog) was spot on.Which all goes to show, when you have a good story and good actors, you could shoot it on VHS and be successful. Film is about storytelling, not resolution or film grain or VFX or all-star casts.This film succeeded in telling a compelling story with flying colors, and made me laugh (hard) for 90 minutes. A+++

None of the characters in this movie are likable.I'm reasonably sure that one brother was supposed to be the screw up with no direction or motivation and the other brother was supposed to have had his life more or less 'together' (and then of course we all learn a clichéd lesson), but I found both of the characters equally unlikeable and deplorable.I pretty much wanted to see both main characters die in a horrific accident so the movie would end and I wouldn't have to watch any more. I actually stopped watching the movie and went and did some housework because it was more entertaining. I have a policy of watching till the end for 'redeeming features', but I was disappointed....I'm giving it some points because the filming, editing, sound were all fine...

A perfectly unfunny movie!One brother has a personality that is the polar opposite of the other brother. One is responsible and focused on his life. The other is totally irresponsible and focused only on himself and what he considers "fun".So the writer and director put them on a 'road trip' to check out an inherited lake side cottage. Surely this will be funny - no it's not. The brothers fight repetitively over the same things and you the viewer can see it all coming. And the theme park sequence is just a foolish attempt at fun times for the boys. And if anyone was surprised by the fire and the ending fight at the airport - well I feel sorry you.
