Critics Consensus: Squandering its impressive cast with poorly-directed gags, The Brothers Solomon is a one-joke film stretched well beyond its limits.

The story makes no sense, and the two lead characters are repulsive, but I must confess I laughed immoderately at this clever piece of junk.
Three gags miss for every one that hits.
I was so angry at everybody involved in the making of this film. It's just astonishing.
A better film would have matched Arnett's seemingly effortless intensity throughout. This okay film does merely okay by it.
It's a moderately funny premise in search of some real laughs.
Neither Odenkirk's limp direction nor SNL alumnus Will Forte's script -- not nearly clever enough to get away with its questionable gags about matters sexual and racial -- provides much by way of actual plot or comedy.
Though not without its screwball charm, The Brothers Solomon suffers from a lack of comic inspiration long before the film reaches the third trimester.
mostly unfunny
...benefits from the inclusion of several genuinely funny whacked-out bits of comedy...
Disappointing comedy that takes a single joke and attempts to stretch it over an entire movie, with predictably poor results.
Odd-couple comedy that tries much too hard and, in other ways, not hard enough.
A dismal gross-out comedy.
This is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. I sat through the entire film but there was never a time when I like it. The ending was the only relief of charm in the film. The dialogue is terrible, the comedy sucks, Will Arnett and Will Forte should think twice before doing anything like this again, and this entire movie fails miserably. I expected this movie to be bad, but not this bad. Wow, the Brothers Solomon is just plain awful. It makes you feel good at the end, but the rest of the movie not salvageable in any way. The idea was absolutely pointless from the start!
Super Reviewer
Stupid, but cute, all at the same time. I might watch again, but more than likely won't.
For as stupid as it was, I did laugh out loud a few times. Probably because I miss Job from Arrested Development. Nothing says love like a diaper full of popcorn and dead duckling.
The talent involved with The Brothers Solomon left the sky as the limit but it was just really disappointing. The consistency with Will Arnett and Will Forte's idiocy wasn't there and there is no fucking way in hell that Kristen Wiig should've ended up in the back seat as she's easily the funniest one in the cast. I never really found myself caring but I do applaud all involved for not going That Way with the neighbor across the hall. If you're expecting anything more than a Saturday Night Live skit that never made it out of the writers' room you're in for some serious disappointment.
