Good God was this boring.

Horribly miscast, a mediocre story with a cliche' plot directed by people who would rather make a cool looking film then have it connect with anything. I almost wanted to break the DVD from NetFlix and report it missing so nobody else would be tortured by this tedious movie.

I find it rather odd that for a movie about Italian brothers was cast with two non-Italians. Dan Fogler and Brendon Sexton have seen much much better days.

I realize that it was made by two first time directors, but come on. How was this entertaining, heartfelt or anything other than boring?

" it's a comedy not a BIOGRAPHY freaking tards!"

Yeah and their main complaint is that it was boring, dreadful, a joyless exprience. pretty much everything a comedy shouldn't be.

Nah, it is funny, but a touching funny, not gross-out humor like we are more used to. it laughs at the guys, their family, and the rest, but it loves them. so the directors actually want us to follow the story, not just laugh at fart jokes or whatever. i wish there were a lot more like it.
sexton and fogler are a great comedy team. wouldn't mind seeing more of them together either.
