The former has a good, steady job, and treats women with kindness and respect, while the latter is irresponsible and has to fight the ladies off with a stick--despite being an out-and-out dog. When Martin becomes frustrated at his lack of female companionship, Junnie offers to show him how to win the attention of women by adopting a more carefree attitude toward them. Through a string of willing partners, both men learn that their attitudes could use a little adjusting. [More]

Reviews for The Other Brother
Mandel Holland's direction is uninspired, and his scripting unsurprising, but the performances by Phifer and Black are ultimately winning. You'll find yourself wishing that you and they were in another movie.
A sweet-tempered comedy that forgoes the knee-jerk misogyny that passes for humor in so many teenage comedies.
While the film is competent, it’s also uninspired, lacking the real talent and wit to elevate it beyond its formula to the level of classic romantic comedy to which it aspires.
Holland lets things peter out midway, but it's notably better acted -- and far less crass - than some other recent efforts in the burgeoning genre of films about black urban professionals.
