"They'd never let the truth come between them"

The Brothers Bloom (2008)
Directed by Rian Johnson, rated PG-13, 114 minutes

The Brothers Bloom is an adventurous and sweet romantic comedy about two of the best con men around, who come up with elaborate schemes. But when the younger brother wants to quit, he gets roped into one last con of a beautiful millionaire. The cast, including Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel Weisz, is wonderful and they have amazing chemistry. As with most movies about con men, you can never be sure what's part of the con and what's real, and that plays well into this delightfully odd and quirky film. The Brothers Bloom is a delightful film with a slew of memorable and deeply intriguing characters. You'll like it if: You like romantic comedies, movies about con artists, Wes Anderson's films, Grosse Pointe Blank, Brick or The Royal Tenenbaums.
