Directed by: Gary Hardwick
Starring: Morris Chestnut, D.L. Hughley, Bill
Bellamy, and Shemar Moore
Four
longtime best friends—Jackson Smith (Morris Chestnut), Brian Palmer (Bill
Bellamy), Derrick West (D.L. Hughley), and Terry White (Shemar Moore)—have one
problem, the women in their lives.
Jackson fears commitment. The fact that his new girlfriend Denise
(Gabrielle Union) slept with his father (Clifton Powell) in the past doesn’t
help to alleviate those fears. Derrick’s
relationship with his wife Sheila (Tamala Jones) is falling apart because of
the simple fact that he can’t get a blow job from her. Brian, an attorney, has a case in court over
which his ex-girlfriend (Angelle Brooks) will be presiding as judge. Terry gets cold feet as he gets closer to his
wedding with fiancée BeBe (Susan Dalian).
All these guys have major issues with the women in their lives, and the
only coping mechanism they have is hanging out with their brothers on the
basketball court.
The Brothers is a film that gives a vision of love
from a black man’s perspective.
Undoubtedly, they rip the band-aid off a few issues in a hilarious way,
but it’s the love that drives this film.
