Excellent adaptation.

Crappy film

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie was brilliant! I've watched a million times as the casting was amazing, the actors were committed, the cinematography was awesome, the directors made great choices and the overall story was well written! This story is very important simply because people from all walks of like can relate to SOMEONE in the movie! I think the entire cast and crew really took their time developing their characters and the story!!! I definitely recommend seeing this movie! I'm so proud of KEKE and Corey whom performances were very believable! This movie made me happy, sad, angry, laugh, and definitely cry!!! 5 thumbs up to the cast, crew and production!

I came across Brotherly Love on Netflix. It had almost five stars, so I thought why not. I don't know why I readied myself to be disappointed, but to my surprise this movie hit to heart. Here you have a family, one brother who is a basketball genius, a sister who wants to go to music school, and a reckless brother in the gang life. Let's not forget the drugged mother, missing father, and forbidden romance between Jackie( Keke Palmer) and Chris (Quincy Brown). Stir all of these characters in a pot and you create a great big mess of issues. I felt this movie was cleverly created and left you hoping that in the end, somehow they would all overcome their triumphs. I flock to movies that keep me rooting for characters, even the bad ones. I give kudos to Director Jamal Hill for creating this movie that will surely reside on my DVD shelf.

Need to see this flick, drama, comedy, and action with a surprise ending!!!!! You won't be disappointed. This is an excellent movie to take a teen for a learning lesson about the choices they make and the consequences that come along with them. I have seen this movie twice and plan to see it again with family and friends. And haven't seen a urban movie like this with substance and a positive message in years. Superb writing and directing by Jamal Hill. Fantastic acting by the cast Keke Palmer, Cory Hardrict, Quincy Brown, Eric Hill Jr., Romeo Miller and Macy Gray. Produced by Queen Latifah. Two thumbs up on this one!

It just felt right! Awesome movie, awesome cast, awesome production. As a 21 year old it's nice to see what our generation can contribute to film and this will be one of those classics that kids will watch 20 years from now. Young Black Hollywood was so well represented in this - Keke Palmer, Logan Browning, Jay Lewis, Justin Martin, and more. The promo was dope for this because some of the cast members visited my school and we appreciated that. I'm glad Cory hardrict could shine bright in this because he's truly talented and Hollywood needs to see him more! Brotherly Love was well written and surprisingly did not end how I thought! Jamal Hill is an inspiration because I've seen his other films and the growth from those to this gives young filmmakers and dreamers hope. Go see it now!
