Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo star as the title characters in The Brothers Bloom which opens in theaters today. I don’t know if I would ever believe that they are actual siblings but I guess that stranger things 
have happened.
The plot follows the brothers who have earned their place among the best con men in the world by swindling millionaires out of money through a complex web of lies.
They decide to do one last job and, of course, they run in to trouble when they show “a beautiful and eccentric heiress (Rachel Weisz) the time of her life with a romantic adventure that takes them around the world.”
In some ways, this movie reminds me of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels which starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine but I’d have to see the movie to really compare. So far, The Brothers Bloom has received a lot of critical acclaim and I think it has the potential to be quite funny.
From a quick glance at the trailer, it looks a lot more action-packed than you might think and I actually am looking forward to seeing it. I hope it’s as good as it looks! Check it out:
