- 67The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsA better film would have matched Arnett's seemingly effortless intensity throughout. This okay film does merely okay by it.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyScott BrownEntertainment WeeklyScott BrownThe sheer, animal idiocy beaming from their faces in the opening credits of The Brothers Solomon creates the film's only moment of uncalculated comic joy.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThe movie doesn't have much visual style or atmosphere, but it does have a kinder, gentler spirit than many gross-out comedies, and that makes it a likable time killer.
- 50USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigThere's nothing very wise about The Brothers Solomon. It's a moderately funny premise in search of some real laughs.
- 38TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxIf anyone is to blame for this bomb it's Forte: He wrote the thing, and one would assume he's the one responsible for those uncomfortable silences where jokes are supposed to be.
- 30L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThere is nothing sadder, either in real life or on the movie screen, than an unlikable idiot, and what we have with this dreadful comedy -- the longest 90 minutes of the film year -- is the sight of not one but two charm-free fools.
- 25Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsNot-funniest comedy of the year so far.
- 25The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThere is no getting these boys down. They are just like Lloyd and Harry in the Farrelly brothers' breakthrough 1994 hit, "Dumb & Dumber." Except that they are never, ever funny.
- 20VarietyVarietyIf "Hot Rod" and "The Ex" couldn't attract an audience, this full-blown comedy miscarriage stands no chance.
- 0New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickExcruciatingly acted and ineptly directed by Bob Odenkirk, The Brothers Solomon is faux Farrelly brothers that should have gone straight to video.
