Richard Roeper: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Robert Wilonsky - Guest Host : Our next movie is one in which I actually willed myself to sleep, lest I suffer unnecessarily through what is easily the worst film of this, or ANY other year, "The Brothers Solomon".

  [...] 

  Robert Wilonsky - Guest Host : Lee Majors got off lucky; he's asleep during the whole dang movie, a fate awaiting anyone who dares to see this sucker. I give "The Brothers Solomon" up for adoption.

  Richard Roeper - Host : It's not even a MOVIE! There should be another categ- y'know, Robert, I walked out of this film, and I wish I had fallen asleep. And I was surly, and I'm NEVER surly, you know that.

  Robert Wilonsky - Guest Host : Oh you...

  Richard Roeper - Host : I was so... angry at everyone involved in the making of this film, it's just astonishingly... these two guys are SO creepy. There's some borderline weird homoerotic incest love thing between the two of them. They think it's funny that they're mistaken for pedophiles in another scene. I mean, scene after scene falls so flat, there's racist stuff with the Chi McBride character, where he's the big scary black man.

  Robert Wilonsky - Guest Host : But all that politically incorrect stuff would've played really well on "Mr. Show", because...

  Richard Roeper - Host : Well...

  Robert Wilonsky - Guest Host : ...There was some sort of intelligence, wit, and context behind it. THIS is just surreally awful.

  Richard Roeper - Host : It's, it's amazing. You're right: It almost feels like they're not trying. It's so lazy, and limp, and just quiet and drab and horrible. Am I mentioning at all that I didn't like this film? Are you getting that?

  Robert Wilonsky - Guest Host : No, it's weird. I actually thought you liked it.
