the overbrook brothers (2009, producer)

THE OVERBROOK BROTHERS | 2009 | 92 MINS | HD | COLOR

SYNOPSIS:
Bringing sibling rivalry to a whole new level, Jason (Nathan Harlan), an earnest aspiring author and his brother Todd (Mark Reeb), an obnoxious, lascivious bully, act more like five year olds than the thirty-somethings they are. When the two converge for Christmas dinner at their father’s house in Colorado, tempers flare and fists fly, resulting in a revelation that will send the two on a rather unconventional road trip to uncover their pasts. As the over-competitive brothers trek to Texas, they fight, harass, tease and eventually bond with one another through unfortunate, often hilarious, circumstances.

Writer-director John Bryant crafts a touching, surprising and hugely entertaining tale of sibling rivalry, family bonding, and uncovering one’s past. With terrific performances and a hilarious script that creatively blends road movie, coming-of-(middle) age story, comedy and adventure, The Overbrook Brothers is not to be missed. (synopsis from Emily Suttmeier and Alexander Silverberg — The Woodstock Film Festival)
