I thought it was funny the whole way through,it had many super memorable moments of hilarity. It stuck well to its genre of mockumentary, by being at least close to believable almost the whole time with some pretty far-fetched moments. I love the all star cast,amazing to see so many funny people in one movie working so well together. Dax Shepard's brand of comedy is unique and top notch. It seems that much thought, love, and effort was put into this movie. Its an offbeat comedy with a kind of awkward situational feel, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I loved it. I hope to see more movies with this humor, wit, and direction from Dax in the future.

The plot: A comedian decides to quit making comedies and, instead, become an international martial arts superstar, despite being thoroughly incompetent.There are some funny moments in this movie, but most of them involve the co-stars, rather than the leads. I can see what they were intending, but I'm not really sure that it worked. Much of the movie is meant to be stupid or intentionally bad, which I guess works, but it fails to be funny. The execution just isn't all that great. I think the biggest problem is that they just couldn't find a balance between the self-conscious, ironic, intentionally bad scenes and the funny scenes.It's not horrible, but it's a bit uneven, and there are parts that are a bit slow and boring. It's also got lots of warmed-over Internet memes, like Chuck Norris references, ironic homophobia, ironic homoeroticism, and an ironic appreciation of bad B movies. If you still laugh at Chuck Norris jokes, five years after most of the Internet got tired of them, then this is the movie for you. If you can't imagine living your life without copious amounts of irony, this is the movie for you. If you're a bit tired of all this stuff, then I'd advise you just watch a Christopher Guest mockumentary.

this film threw me a curve ball, i had no idea what to expect when i watched this. it has some familiar names and it was sorta interesting. its more like a documentary type of film with the 3rd party sorta thing. its clearly low budget and it was not the worst thing to watch yet i know you can see something else that might not be a big wast of your time like this film is. you most likely only herd of this film if you keep an eye out for new DVD's coming out and thats how i found it. i had a few laughs here and there and don't expect much from this and you will be OK knowing that its a wast of time. watch only when your bored and given up hope.

I saw Brother's Justice at the Paramount theater for the Austin Film Festival and loved it.The film, shot documentary style, follows Dax Shepard as he tries to make the leap from being a comedic actor to becoming an international martial arts action star a'la Chuck Norris. It's an 80 minute, deliciously awkward leap for our delusional hero. As he pitches his idea for his break-out film BROTHER'S JUSTICE to the industry types that surround him, he systematically gets knocked down by his agent, his lawyer, and his A-list connections (very funny cameos by Ashton Kutcher and Jon Favreau). But Dax is a weirdly likable, egomaniacal machine that won't be stopped. With the help of his "stand by your man" producer, Nate Tuck and his unlikely co-star for BROTHER'S JUSTICE, an equally delusional Tom Arnold, we watch Dax go to extreme lengths to make his action star rise. Public appearances go badly...really badly, ribs are cracked, bromances are broken.There are some guffaw-inducing cameos by Bradley Cooper and one of my all time favorite scene-stealers, David Koechner, and Tom Arnold hasn't been this funny or neurotic since True Lies. Overall it feels like the kind of movie that will get funnier with multiple viewings. There are so many quotable one-liners and I can see it having a cult following over time. I really hope it gets a theatrical release.See it if you like: a) funny b) weird c) junk jiggling close-ups in speeding European hot rods d) funny, weird, junk jiggling close-ups in speeding European hot rods
