This angst-filled tale of three Irish-Catholic brothers explores men's relationships with women. Three different situations are set up on parallel plotlines, with each brother facing a different kind of crisis. Their common bond as family, as well as close lifelong friends, allows them to express their feelings frankly and intimately, as they talk and discuss their concerns among each other. Jack finds himself in a marriage gone stale and under pressure to start a family that he does not yet feel ready for. Barry, dedicated to his film career and almost pathologically averse to any type of commitment in a relationship, is suddenly artistically successful and finds true love, both for the first time and both pulling him in opposite directions. Patrick is torn between his love for his religion and ethnic heritage and his love for Susan, his longtime Jewish girlfriend. Ultimately, they are all asked to resist temptation of one sort or another, with various poignant outcomes.
Leave your thoughts about The Brothers McMullen.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackBurns 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. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealIt's easy to see what attracted Redford to Burns' first film. Burns' dialogue is natural and witty. Burns films with the gritty immediacy of a documentary, slipping a boom mic above backyard conversations over beers. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyGood old-fashioned virtues of three-dimensional characters, fine dialogue, recognizable life situations and meat-and-potatoes content. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonOne of the most enjoyable experiences of the year. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliYou 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranWhile other films struggle for their effects, Brothers simply lives and breathes, thoroughly likable from beginning to end. |
| Film.comTom KeoghThe movie brings into focus how rare religion and spirituality are in American films. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe women's characters are as well drawn as the men's in a splendidly acted film that captures the confusion of love in ways that are ardent, affecting and wonderfully funny. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyIt's the sprightly profane dialogue, the dirty talk of the brothers about love and religion, that gives this otherwise old-fashioned comedy (imitative of Woody Allen) a modern feel and winsome drive, keeping it from getting stale. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyThis 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. |
