Burns has created an endearing gathering of people we all know, and every one of them is so much fun that leaving the theater at the end elicits a touch of regret.
While other films struggle for their effects, Brothers simply lives and breathes, thoroughly likable from beginning to end.
You don't have to be Catholic, or Irish, or even American, to "get it." Burns' language, despite originating on Long Island, is universal in appeal and meaning.
The movie brings into focus how rare religion and spirituality are in American films.
This knowing, low-budget comedy will appeal to men, who'll recognize their behavior, but also to women, who'll see it as goosing the gander.
Respectable by the tube's standards, even a cut above dumbed-down Hollywood, but hardly the stuff of creative renewal.
If you want to waste a couple of hours, you can surely do much better looking elsewhere.
