Breast Men Trailers

We follow the two Texas doctors who invented the modern breast implant and its surgical procedure. However, when success and money come their way, they split up and follow different paths. One becomes the surgeon of the everyday woman while the other's career freefalls and has to settle with strippers and actresses. The film covers their history and their inventions, from the sixties until today.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

When the lawyers start coming out of the woodwork towards the end of "Breast Men", most of the entertainment value has already drained away. What starts out as an insightful look into the female psyche, winds up splattered all over the courtroom floor. Along the way, nice performances by David Schwimmer and Chris Cooper get lost in the dramatically glorified corruption which results from their success. This uneasy mix of professional plastic surgery and promotional advertising eventually ends in a fun house of mirrors. After the intriguing beginning, things steadily slide downhill, and the characters become less and less likable, as does the entire movie. - MERK

The story of the two doctors who pioneer the breast implant. This movie starts out like it has potential. Schwimmer is the resident trying to be the "inventive" youngster and Cooper is the experienced level headed doctor that gets into this because he needs to "invent" something and not be called a "beautician". Up until they open the clinic and it gets going does it fall into the same formula ala "Boogie nights" or "54". Up down (probably up again). I got bored and found something else to watch. It could have been a good comedy (obvious gags) and drama (doctors actually helping women in need e.g. Women who had mastectomy's). But no it goes down the "good life corrupts", "no honor amongst thieves", greed, etc. blah blah blah. Something to watch if there is absolutely nothing else on (including Gilligan Island). 3/10 Don't bother.

Very nicely done and serious drama. The nudity/sexuality is just adequate. I wish American people finally accept nudity/sexuality as OK for the sake of art. European movie production is far better in this sense. That's why MPAA censorship needs to be abolished. Adults do not need a censor!Actors are doing wonderful job. As to moral/ethical aspects movie does not have any serious claims here. It's just a movie. It should not be taken as who is for implants, why women do it, is it good or bad, it simply shows a story based on reality.Finally, one point about the issue itself. The golden age for breast implants is gone and will never return again. Fewer and fewer women do it and will do it in the future. The point here is that doctor-made breasts fal at most into 4-5 categories. Otherwise they all look alike. In erotic industry "all-natural" and even small breasts are far popular today than those silicons.

This is a fairly good movie (especially for a TV film). Ok it was dramatized a lot and you noticed it, but it was pretty enjoyable (better than Hollywood crap like The Avengers or Godzilla). And it had nothing to do with me being a guy and the fact there were a lot of breasts in this. It just was well acted, interesting, funny and at times even dramatic.7 out of 10
