Plot: Two white-bred wannabe gangsta rappers set out on an all-night crime spree designed to establish their street credit and provide the funding needed to pay for a studio recording session in a hip-hop flavored crime comedy featuring Joel Fatone, Shaquille O'Neal, and Ludacris. Pete (Joachim Wiese) and Lanny (John Tindall) dream of the day when their skills be enough to pay the bills, but in the meantime they're having enough trouble just earning enough cash to cover the cost of their demo. Raised in a picket-fence paradise that's about as far away from the ghetto as one could ever imagine, this misguided pair of aspiring rappers determine to make a name for themselves by setting out on a manic night of low-level criminal conduct. When a bizarre twist of fate finds Pete and Lanny's incompetent criminal enterprise mistaken for benevolent heroism by the community, the pair quickly seize the opportunity to turn their fifteen minutes of fame into a successful hip-hop career. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Underappreciated
Added 5/29/2008

When I first went to my friend's house to watch a movie, I was a tad surprised when this was produced, and I immediately went into it with the very lowest of expectations when it he described as "a more real 'Malibu's Most Wanted'", and figured it was another awful comedy movie about white people behaving moronically.

But to my surprise, I enjoyed this movie thoroughly and was entertained throughout. It's truly one of the funnier movies I have ever seen. I think a number of these reviews fail to see the irony in it; but whatever.

This movie is definitely worth the watch especially when you can consider you can buy it for a mere 3$.

Don't do it!!!!

I can honestly say this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life, and i've seen a bunch.

The story is poor, the acting is poor, the directing is poor. I'm not even going to try and sell my copy because i can not be responsible for inflicting this amount of pain on another person.

Do yourself a favor, watch something else.

One star for the picture quality

The sound is poor, the story is poor, the dialogue is poor. I bought the disc for Arielle Kebble. She's in less than 5% of it.

This Director is one to watch. An fresh new story line about white rappers, with a satisfying twist at the end. Lots of music, good ironic comedy. Especially like the cameos and supporting cast.

If you liked FRIDAY, you'll love THE BROS.
Added 2/20/2007

I saw The Brothers at a film festival in London a couple of years ago. Nice to see the film got a nice DVD release. THE BROS. is a very funny, raunchy biting kind of comedy. Lot's of bad language and pot-smoking and criminal misbehavior. Kind of like a "white guys" version of the film FRIDAY. If you're into that type of film, I highly recommend this one.

The film has a lot of great cameos from Shaq, Ludacris, Carrot Top, Cindy Margolis, Vanilla Ice, etc. in a mockumentary portion. But the film's stars, John Tindall, Joachim Wiese, and Dennis Scott really put out fantastic performances. Keep an eye on these guys.

This is NOT another "Malibu's Most Wanted." It has a brain, heart and soul.
