Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter Mar 24, 2007
A moralistic black drama that makes its points with a heavy hand and unconvincing story developments. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Mar 20, 2007
A young man takes an awfully long time to discover what the audience already knows -- that his disabled brother is the most precious thing in his life -- in My Brother. Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Times Mar 16, 2007
3/5
Its earnest tone, moving orchestral score and strong cast carry it past the rough patches. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Kansas City Star Apr 5, 2007
2/4
Has no shortage of heart, but it has been so clumsily organized and falls back so often on clichd storytelling that any early goodwill quickly morphs into resentment. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Mar 16, 2007

Feb 27, 2012 This movie is SO SO SO SO SO SO SAD! See more Mar 31, 2011 THis is the best movie i have ever seen. I cried so much!!!!! See more Nov 8, 2010 My Brother has a touching story, but it wasn't always interesting throughout the movie, and often I found myself bored. Also, the potential girlfriend didn't really add anything to the film. Although I enjoyed the movie, the long drawn out drama got to be a bit much. See more Sep 16, 2008 I saw the trailer for this movie and gave it a try.It was a good movie. it was intresting watching the mentally disabled man act. And it had a amusinging story line to following in the beggining of the movie. As i was trying to follow the story of isaiah and the package the movie takes a unessacery turn a show a flash backs of when the boys were kids for quite a stretch See more Jul 29, 2008 Pretty good movie. Vanessa Wiliams actually does a good job. She is seen only through the flashbacks. See more Jul 3, 2008 This was a very touching story with great actors...a story of two brothers with a stong bond that could not be broken through trials and seperation...but was broken by one brother's selfishness...and he suffers from it...even though the ending made you feel kinds empty and wondering...I think it was proper for the story...
