Mr. Sunshine and Brothers

Good news and bad news.

Bad news (because well let's just get it over with)
"Brothers" featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, and Natalie Portman, was probably the worst war movie I've ever seen.
First off, the trailer is extremely deceiving. Secondly, the 8 year olds performance was 10x better than Maguires. The little girl flips out at the table because her dad is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, and I was more moved by her 10 second outburst than I was by Tobey Maguire screaming and tearing apart the entire kitchen. Do not waste your time with this film. In addition to the awful acting, the plot was terrible. There was no clear ending and everything the trailer built up the movie to be was a let down. Definitely not worth it.

Andddddd the good news. "Mr. Sunshine" is a new series on tv, featuring Matthew Perry as an executive working for a sports arena. It's actually pretty funny if anyone's looking for a decent new comedy. There's only been one episode so far, but I'd give it a chance. Plus, who can say no to Matthew Perry?

completely agree with your feelings about Brothers. I saw that movie a while ago and hated it for wasting my time.
