You know what we need more of in today’s world? Movie’s like the one we’re promised in this trailer for the upcoming film Half Brothers. When Renato finds out the father who left him as a child is dying he travels to America to find out why he never came home. He doesn’t get the answers he’s looking for but rather a promise to find out if he completes a scavenger hunt with the half-brother he just met. It sounds SO cheesy that it could just work and the trailer all but promises that it’s just what many of us need, plain, simple, heart-raising fun. There’s something comforting about the whole “two people from opposite worlds thrown together” film but it can go horribly wrong…which is probably why we haven’t seen a film like this in a while, I think the RDJ/Galifinakas vehicle Due Date is the last one I can think of. Luis Mendez and Connor Del Rio star as the two, newley introduced, brothers and the chemistry is apparent. Maybe I’m over emotional today, or maybe it’s the well placed feels coming from the back track but I’m putting this on my must watch list. Check out the trailer below and look for Half Brothers this holiday season
