The Brothers Bloom

A very entertaining movie!

"The Brothers Bloom" is a the story of two mischievous siblings and their odd companion Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi) who who are expert at conning people around the world. Bloom (Adrien Brody) is frustrated that his life has been written for him by his older brother Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and decides he wants to quit to live his own life. Stephen convinces Bloom to join one last swindle on the eccentric millionaire Penelope (Rachel Weisz). What ensues is a comical, romantic, around-the-world adventure where I was constantly engaged trying to figure out what was scripted and what was 'real'.

Good acting, outstanding script, subtle themes and a quirky but memorable musical score render this movie one of my personal favorites!
