"Goodhart’s film is a winner – sweet but not sentimental, tart without turning sour. The studio-produced romantic comedy may be flatlining, but who cares, so long as snappy indies like this one step up to fill the void?" ... Read full review

"By the end, there’s a strange sense that the film has been both elongated and rushed in the way that it ends a few arcs, but it’s also an unusually sensitive romance that doubles as a showcase of three of our most talented modern comedic actors." ... Read full review

"With its three leads all having appeared repeatedly in the small-town setting of "Parks And Recreation," My Blind Brother sometimes feels like an alternate-world appendix to that beloved show." ... Read full review

"The best material gives the excellent Scott and Kroll plenty of love-hate energy: Robbie’s condescension, Bill’s passive-aggressiveness. It will look all too familiar to anyone who isn’t an only child." ... Read full review

"While not a home run, this comedy/drama might still be worth a look for fans of any of its charismatic stars (especially Slate and Kazan) and for those looking for a comedy that at least attempts to infuse darker elements in with its awkward laughs." ... Read full review

It is true that it does not aspire to anything truly more striking or much more proactive and remains in a safe area but at least the quality is good enough to enjoy it, especially on a weekend.

I mean it has some well known comedy actors, but the actual jokes were not that funny and it felt that the movie makes you feel for the characters just because one of them is blind and others are trying to help. I mean if you want a comedy - it has not much in it. If you want drama, then the story is not that good. It's watchable, but I still felt that I wasted time. Expand
