What Brothers McMullen Should Have Been
26 January 2006
For anyone who has been in a relationship and at some point wondered "why are we together" this film is a wake-up call. Fairly low production value, the main characters Josh and Emily have a heartfelt connection (though I heard they're married or such, so I suppose that's part of it) that's both raw and un-nerving at times. We follow Josh and Emily as they drive to Josh's father's home for a surprise visit on his birthday - and the big surprise is the delivery of the "puffy chair". On their way, they are joined by Rhett, Josh's brother, who begins to force the two to answers questions about their relationship and whether they truly are happy. While Rhett the actor is fairly good, Rhett the character remains a tad one dimensional.

Beyond the faults of the production value and camera work, the film has a solid soundtrack and brings to light the most relevant question: Why are we together?
