Cry Me A River
Variety has a story saying that Natalie Portman signed on to star in the remake of the Danish film, “Brothers.” As reported earlier, “Brothers” is the story of a soldier (Maguire) going off to war in Afghanistan while his brother (Gyllenhaal) stays behind to take care of his wife (Portman) and child (probably one of those obnoxious little Fanning kids).
Spoiler alert! This film is going to make you cry. You don’t need to be familiar with the plot of the original to know. What flags this movie as a tearjerker is the casting of Portman, Maguire and Gyllenhaal, three of Hollywood’s most notorious serial criers. That’s not even taking into account a soldier’s high risk of death in Afghanistan, the potential love triangle this type of situation will cause, or any attempts at sympathetic character development. “Brothers” is less a tearjerker, than a dehydration fatality waiting to happen. Stay safe by making sure to drink plenty of fluids before watching this movie.
