| User ReviewChris .Fantastic documentary about the four guys who started Warner Brothers |
| User ReviewJohn CInteresting document of the origins of the one of the great Hollywood studios, although it does on occasions feel like you're looking at the old family album with Grandma (which actually does happen at one point in the film). |
| User ReviewAntóin Seán Mvery interesting doco about the real warner bros. let down by poor narration from a family member |
| User ReviewEric HOverall, this is the sort of film that movie lovers like myself love--especially those who adore Hollywood during the classic years of the 1920s-40s. Fascinating--as it's filled with wonderful little stories and facts that film buffs will love. My only real problem with the film is that there is just too much material for a film that's just a bit over 90 minutes long. A mini-series would really due more justice to the history of this amazing studio. |
| User ReviewJack WInteresting and insightful this documentary offers up a revealing portrait of the men who built one of the most well known studios. It was great to see interviews with a wide range of people from many different aspects connected to the industry. The documentary was very personal to Cass Warner and this kinda became a hindrance as she bared her feeling into the project. This took me out of the film at times and was the only thing that bothered me. Still, interesting to learn so much about these great men and family. |
| User ReviewRobyn MThe Brothers Warner Could have been so much more... somehow I've gotten a gut instinct feeling we've only been given half true stories. Documentarian/ struggling Hollywood elite Cass Warner Sperling, Is Jack Warners Great granddaughter. And conviently cashing in on her family's dirty laundry. So filthy and intimate it would make Jack wake from the dead |
| User ReviewWill VAn OK doc about the Warner Brothers. The story itself was very interesting, but the narration and the way it was displayed was lacking any sort of excitement. |
