Unfunny, smug and boring - The Brothers Bloom review by PV
I saw the reviews for this in various newspapers - usually between 3 and 4 stars out of 5 - so I was expecting a comedy. What I watched was a total unfunny mess. It's one of those films that thinks it's hilarious - so 'post-modern' and self-satisfied and smug.
Also, it's like those awful Wes Anderson films which have that Californian vibe about them. Are you illuminated? Well, not by this tripe.
This fim gets 1 star - and that's for the pretty views of Prague!
If you want to watch a REALLY funny film with a pair of conmen, watch the Producers, Paper Moon or Some Like It Hot.

Started well but - The Brothers Bloom review by CP Customer
This should have been a good movie but I nearly stopped the disc after 1/2 hour. It's a confusing mess with no redeeming features. I liked the the first ten minutes or so but went downhill from then.
