BROTHERS Movie Review

Brothers will be released to theaters on December 4, 2009. The Movie stars Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and directed by Jim Sheridan. If you are planning to go see the movie, here are a few reviews from around the web to help you make up your mind.

The promotional material for director Jim Sheridan's new drama Brothers has been somewhat misleading. The film's trailers suggest that the meat of the film is the love triangle between the three stars, only briefly touching on the post-traumatic stress suffered by soldiers in the Middle East that is the real guts of the story.

The two actresses share a kiss in the forthcoming ballet dancer drama Black Swan and Mila - who is dating actor Macaulay Culkin - is already tiring of the attention the scene is attracting, but admits she understands why people are so interested.
She said: "It's two girls making out and guys have a thing for that - it's silly but I can see why people care. "Natalie is like every guy's dream. She's a nerd's idea of heaven."
Natalie has also spoken out about the scene, saying that it is an "extreme" moment. She said: "It's a very extreme movie, it's like very extreme situations. It's not explicit in any way." While Natalie had no problems locking lips with Mila, she says it was "hard" having to smooch both Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal in her latest movie 'Brothers'. [...]
