The Brothers Solomon is a 2007 American comedy film starring Will Arnett and Will Forte.
John and Dean are two sheltered happy-go-lucky brothers who want nothing more than to please their ailing father. Deciding a grandson will do the trick, the clueless boys set out to find a woman who can give them a baby. Finding Janine on Craigslist, they find the woman of their dreams, artificially inseminating her and spending the next nine months on a roller coaster of life, facing romantic and parental challenges along the way that are no match for their sunny attitude.
The film was a box office bomb, grossing only $900,926 out of a $10 million budget. Reviews were overwhelmingly negative. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a 15% rotten rating, based on 72 reviews. The consensus says, "Squandering its impressive cast with poorly-directed gags, The Brothers Solomon is a one-joke film stretched well beyond its limits." On Metacritic, the film received a score of 32 out of 100, based on 17 reviews. However, the film has received a favorable User Submitted reviews which currently stand at a 8.0 out of 10. On At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper, Richard Roeper claimed he walked out of the film - something he had never done before.
