Los hermanos Bloom

Poner a Adrien Brody y Mark Ruffalo como hermanos es un error de casting. Y ni hablar del hecho de que ninguno de estos señores es ideal para el género de comedia. Rachel Weisz salva bastante y da un tono fresco a la película. La película tiene un escenario como el de la carismática película policíaca La trampa y una imagen de la locura del «sombrero» de Los vengadores. No es una listilla que va un paso por delante del espectador como le gustaría ser, pero tampoco ofende porque no se toma completamente en serio a sí misma. Otra película chill-out olvidable en la que no invertiría si fuera productor. (22.10.2009)

I understand that Rachel and Adrien wanted to see the sights of Prague, but did they really have to sign up for a movie where even brain-dead viewers are always ten steps ahead of the characters? The result isn’t improved by the vain attempt at copying the poetry of Wes Anderson. It falls very short in terms of poetry and atmosphere (these show through in just a couple of scenes and is these that suggest that if the whole movie had been that good, it would have made up for the unfortunate screenplay) and it is just weird and stupid. Really weird and very stupid. Not to mention the killing length of it, considering nothing happens for the whole last half hour. (29.09.2009)

I didn't enjoy this one very much. Adrien Brody is an actor nobody cares much about anymore, and Mark Ruffalo is only making money thanks to the Hulk in the MCU. So I don't find this duo very funny, and it's more of a crime story about two con-artist brothers. Nothing much interesting happens in the film, it's not smart or even very entertaining let alone funny. The only thing worth mentioning was the strange reclusive Rachel Weisz, who was great. 45% (11.09.2018)

I like well-executed absurd dramas, and this was initially developing as one of such theatrical dramas, albeit in a cinematic and grander form. Unfortunately, in the second half, the film loses its momentum because it tries too hard to have a story and evoke emotions. Up until then, it was very well played out. Suddenly, even the absurdity disappeared, which was a pity. (26.03.2014)
