Nell Minow Common Sense Media Stunningly beautiful, but too intense for little kids. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Rex Reed Observer This is a family movie on a grand scale, enhanced by lush cinematography and throbbing music, with a minimum of dialogue and an endless assortment of thrills. Jul 23, 2004 Full Review Nick De Semlyen Empire Magazine It's undoubtedly good-natured, old-fashioned family entertainment, but Two Brothers never quite manages to strike a successful balance between fantasy and reality. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2004 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com The very definition of harmless, watchable entertainment. Exactly whether or not that is good enough depends on who you are. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 7, 2005 Full Review Carlo Cavagna AboutFilm.com I defy any animal lover not to tear up with Kumal and Sangha reunite, even if it is a little faux. Rated: B+ Jan 1, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Rosana B Muito lindo, uma ode a natureza, a liberdade e a preservação... A fictícia história de dois irmãos tigres que são separados ainda bebês e tendo um reencontro magnífico numa arena, quando diante uma grande plateia não brigam e sim brincam... As cenas finais de reencontro, libertação, perdão e amor ganham nossos corações... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This one of my all time fave films can watch and cry over and over will never get tired of two brothers ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Conmovedora, divertida y dramática; es una muy buena película que pueden disfrutar tanto niños como adultos. ¡TOTALMENTE RECOMENDADA! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow! This movie makes me cry. A story from the point of view of two baby tigers that are separated and their life becomes cruel. In the part of the reunion is when the story takes a course towards one of the happiest and at the same time saddest endings that I have seen. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Me, my sister and our related friends saw this over GARFIELD THE MOVIE. This was the better choice obviously but it also was the entertaining and heartfelt movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/26/19 Full Review Audience Member Growing up this was on of the movies my sister and I watched the most. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
