‘Brothers’ Review: Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin Play Mismatched Twins in a Comedy Blind to Their Differences

In “Brothers,” Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage play adult twins, Moke and Jady Munger, who’ve been criminal accomplices ever since their jewelry-heisting mom abandoned them as kids.

You hear the pitch for director Max Barbakow’s follow-up to his 2020 Sundance phenom “Palm Springs,” and it’s fair to assume that the two actors’ mismatched appearances will be the source of the laughs. Screenwriters Macon Blair (“The Toxic Avenger”) and Etan Cohen ( “Tropic Thunder”) have credits that suggest as much, while Hollywood has a history of turning out “high-concept” comedies like “Twins,” in which Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito played long-separated (and far-from-identical) siblings.
