Chasing the feel of watching Big City Greens the Movie: Spacecation ? Here are the movies we recommend you watch right after.

If you’ve never watched the series prior to this, it still has a lot going for it. For one, its exposition is straightforward like a children’s play, telling you who the main cast is, and quickly treating you to musical numbers that are a welcome surprise every time they pop up. The main predicament is hilarious when it first hits, but I’m willing to die on the hill that they could’ve kept the bit going a little longer. Some segments do drag and make the whole thing feel like a long TV episode, and some plot setups can feel a bit hollow, but it’s a pretty relatable and trippy children's story, regardless.

Brothers is simply a bad film. The jokes are mediocre and the plot is thin, if not invisible. The only thing it has going for it is the cast, who, individually are great but together, in this film, are unbelievably unfunny. Except perhaps for Glenn Close, who seems to be the only one capable enough to sell her character. Everyone else is either over-the-top bad—you can count Marisa Tomei and Brendan Fraser in this category—or zero-effort bad—here you can include the leads. I can’t imagine anyone enjoying the experience of watching this movie, much less having the stomach to finish it. But maybe a few cinephiles who grew up adoring The Goonies or Tarzan will enjoy some of the references made. Otherwise, you’d do well to hide this movie from your homepage. If you can ask Prime Video to never recommend it to you ever again, even better.
