Neil Genzlinger New York Times Mind-numbing ... Sep 8, 2016 Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times "Brother Nature" ... enjoys moments of deep-end mania from Killam and Moynihan. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 8, 2016 Full Review Justin Lowe Hollywood Reporter Killam, who recently departed SNL after six seasons, shows a great grasp of his character's escalating bewilderment and frustration. Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Josh Goller Spectrum Culture Brother Nature offers absolutely nothing new. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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+ Sep 15, 2016 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Uninspired and unfunny script and direction are the undoing of this labored farce. And then there's Bobby Moynihan...

Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun enough. Some good parts. Some REALLY ANNOYING parts. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor gill. RIP . That’s really the only joke that landed for me 2.0 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/10/20 Full Review Audience Member I think the actors had more fun making this then we did watching as there was little to laugh at in this comedy and was actually annoying Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Too broad for my liking. C Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A more awful version of meet the parents. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
