Our take
Little Brother is an R-rated comedy about a tidy realtor whose estranged brother crashes back into his life. Expect near-constant f-word dialogue, sex and nudity references, a graphic blood moment after an accident, grief over a parent's cancer death, and reckless party behavior. Crude humor and workplace chaos dominate. Adults only; not for teens
Uplifting themes
Reconciliation and loyalty peek through the crude sibling chaos Both brothers are deeply flawed; growth is messy and uneven
Story (may spoil tone)
A tightly wound realtor's picture-perfect life gets an extreme makeover when his lovably chaotic "little brother" suddenly reappears.
