Little Brother

“Brother, is that you?”

A succesful real estate agent (John Cena) has his life turned upside down when his ‘little brother’—a kid he was mentoring in high school (Eric André)—comes back into his life.

This falls pretty wide of the mark on all fronts. I don’t think John Cena is that great of an actor even as the straight man, and whilst we know Eric André can be funny the script just doesn’t seem to be there here.

Matt Spicer the director also did Ingrid Goes West1 so it’s disappointing to see something so bereft of any originality from him.
