The Brothers Solomon

The movie looks like it should be a Will Ferrell movie. Except instead of one Will Ferrell, we get both Will Forte and Will Arnett. What's the deal with cinematic craziness and guys named Will?

The plot involved 2 loser brothers desperately trying to father a child so that their dying dad can have at least 1 grandchild before he goes. And yes, there is a montage of failed dates. Who could have guessed?

Neither Forte nor Arnett feel as naturally funny as Ferrell consistently does, but combined they seem to have a comedic rapport that will hopefully work in the film. However, by the end of the 2 minutes I did notice that there seemed to be no variance in their roles. They were always smiling and calmly saying crazy-sounding things ("What do you say we get out of here and I go put a baby in you, no strings attached?"). Sure, the films looks funny, but it also looks like it will have overstayed its welcome by about the 45-minute mark.
