Often seen as a Waiting to Exhale with men, The Brothers is amiable. However, it feels superficial and somewhat of a retread.

A lively, affectionate and well-acted romantic comedy.
A politically incorrect but often hilarious jam session.
Top CriticAirless and oddly fatiguing.
It's easier to laugh with the movie than take it seriously.
If The Brothers falls far short of its prototype, Waiting to Exhale, it still conveys a warm-blooded affection for its characters.
The Brothers is basically a Lifetime movie that somehow found its way into theaters.
An entertaining but too-familiar comedy about the romantic woes of African-Americans.
My ex made me watch this pile of crap. The only good bit was the old woman who tells us "I invented the shit" You can't blame yourself dear, a lot of people are responsible!
