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

All Critics (84) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (25) | DVD (14)
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.
Like candy, this male answer to the 1995 film Waiting to Exhale is sweet, pleasing and goes down easy -- but it's not very filling. Still, it's tasty while it lasts.
An entertaining but too-familiar comedy about the romantic woes of African-Americans.
