Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend. Taran Killam, because of his time on SNL, tends to find his ways into roles he doesn't quite match. He's funny, he's a good actor, but he's not always quite enough of whatever he needs to be, in this case: likeable. And on the opposite end, he's not enough of a control freak, he's kind of a bland middle ground. And he's supposed to be good enough, in some way, for Gillian Jacobs. The start of this movie literally looks more like a setup for the weekend where she dumps him than when he would propose. Though I guess they're not exclusive. The Killam solution seems to be add someone who is a more infamous actor for being obnoxious, Bobby Moynihan. While Moynihan is good at what he does, I'm usually not a big fan of it: he's usually a lesser version of Chris Farley leaning on being more stupid than fat and physical. I would imagine that Bobby's character would make almost anyone insane, but this is a long string of abuse humor rivalling "Duplex", and I would argue at a lesser quality.

"Brother Nature" ... enjoys moments of deep-end mania from Killam and Moynihan.

Killam, who recently departed SNL after six seasons, shows a great grasp of his character's escalating bewilderment and frustration.

When the film isn't hilarious, it's usually amusing, always aiming to please in a way few comedies are capable of anymore.

Rated: B+

Uninspired and unfunny script and direction are the undoing of this labored farce. And then there's Bobby Moynihan...
