    ●    Rock, Paper, Scissors with the Real Brothers


In The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, Mark (Steve Zissis) and Jeremy (Mark Kelly) re-initiate a 25-event childhood contest to determine once and for all who is the better brother.

My Thoughts:


As I watched this movie, I thought to myself, "What would it be like if my brothers and I were to hold a competition come the holidays when we all get together?"  Growing up we loved competing against each other and would always try and one up the other person.  This new release deals with sibling rivalry of two brothers, who compete in 25 crazy events during a family reunion, to see which brother is the best.  They complete in games like ping ping, leg wrestling and laser tag, to name a few. 

This movie will have you laughing all the way through.  You will not only laugh at the two brothers competing, but if you have siblings, you will find yourself, like I was thinking about you used to compete as your child (and today as adults).  But, as the movie progresses and these move from event to event, these two grown men begin to find about more about one another, and what they thought about the other person is dispelled.  Can these problems put their differences aside and accept one another for their differences?  I am not going to spoil the ending for you. You'll just have to pick up this movie and find out for yourself. 


Disclosure:  I was sent a copy of this DVD screener from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  The views above are mine and mine alone.
