The old adage, never work with children or animals should maybe be extended, in this instance to include family as well! Added to that the pursuit and accolade of fame and all the pressures that entails, you have yourself a very interesting documentary. What Bros lacked in musical recognition they made up for in personality which sadly, at the time, backed up by a hefty battering from the British Press, (the likes of which had probably only been experienced by Iconic figures such as Princess Diana, and we all know how that ended) lead to a 'Marmite' culture; you either loved them or hated them. At the centre of this piece are a couple of very sensitive souls trying to overcome the traumas of their pasts and reconcile long buried grievances. You only have to read the autobiographies of both Matt and Luke to know that this documentary has been kept short, sweet and to the point. There's an awful lot more that could have been covered but then we'd be reviewing a mini series! It is laugh-out-loud funny (even for a rather sceptical looking gentlemen sitting in front of me!) and I actually nearly jumped out of my seat to applaud at one point! The music has been chosen very carefully for this film and surprisingly it doesn't contain many Bros songs! I really hope people put their prejudiced ideas to one side and give this film a watch. There are always going to be haters but for me, its 10/10 (over and over again...!)
