The Brothers Bloom *****

'The Brothers Bloom' is an Indie dramedy starring Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel Weisz. I hadn't heard much about it and had no idea what to expect. It got pretty decent reviews so I assumed it would be at least ok. Guess what? It was better than OK!!!

'The Brothers Bloom' is written and directed by Rian Johnson. He did an amazing job! The story is incredibly well done. Everything ties in and makes sense! You know how I love that. There are also interesting secondary elements which make the story that much better. And to top it all off, there's a life lesson!!! My favorite!!!

As for the actors, they all did a really good job. Adrien Brody is not one of my favorite actors to see, but he was absolutely the perfect choice for this role. Ruffalo and Weisz were also very good here. Also, Rinko Kikuchi plays a vital and hysterical role in the film. I think she only speaks once during the whole thing, but you'll be laughing at her a lot!

I've been watching a lot of sub-par movies lately, so this one was incredibly refreshing. It's definitely very well done from every angle.

As for the kiddies, I think it's ok. They mention 'horny' once, there is a brief love scene where you don't really see anything... they kiss and then wake up together. The premise is that they are con artists, thieves. There is a good bit of drinking and smoking going on, and an occasional profanity. (You'd hear worse at my house.) So this movie is ok for every teenager I know and probably ok for younger kids unless you guard them that much.

'The Brothers Bloom' was an amazing, refreshing movie that stimulated my mind and imagination. I LOVED IT!!!
So you should definitely watch this one!
Unbelievably, Amazon doesn't have it, but you can go there to buy it from someone else, or you can go ahead and try Netflix up there at the top, and rent it.
