Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
A noisy stab at wacky wrongness that starts with reasonably plump possibility as a dispatch from the frontlines of viral video embarrassment hell.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Both actors somehow stay grounded despite all the shenanigans. Hunnam, in particular, is quite adept at playing against his movie-star looks.

Arizona Republic
Rating: C+ --
Provided one submits to its base level of intentional ridiculousness, there's some wacky charm to be found in this low-budget comedy of fraternal bickering.

Shared Darkness
Rating: 1.5/4 --
A sub-Apatovian farce that tries way too hard ...

New York Post
Tragically unfunny, Frankie is occasionally elevated by some of its gifted and game cast, but the film's nasty, comedically incoherent script limits its potential.

NPR
Rating: 3.5/4 --
An unusual -- and unusually joyous -- embattled siblings flick, flush with quirks and neat asides and insanely funny bits you barely saw coming.

La Movie Boeuf
... provides a few solid sitcom-style laughs before the bickering and mayhem become repetitive and the film simply runs out of gas.

Product Description:
Two brothers are forced to work together to stop the spread of an incriminating videotape in this independent comedy. Would-be novelist Frankie (Charlie Hunnam) lives in the desert to avoid his family, and with good cause -- his older brother Bruce (Chris O'Dowd) has spent much of his life videotaping Frankie in humiliating circumstances, and was waiting with a camcorder when Frankie was dumped during his own wedding. (Bruce posted the wedding video on the Internet, where it has been viewed three million times.) Shortly after being released from rehab, Bruce records Frankie's less than satisfying rendezvous with Lassie (Lizzy Caplan), and when a copy somehow finds its way to an on-line porn site, Frankie is desperate to have it taken down before too many people see it. Bruce is angry that his brother is getting in the way of his career as a "filmmaker" until he learns Lassie is the daughter of Jack (Chris Noth), a washed-up action star who befriended Bruce in rehab. Bruce thinks Jack might be his ticket to making real movies in Hollywood, except for the actor's violent mood swings and unbending loyalty to his daughter. 3, 2, 1 . . . FRANKIE GO BOOM also stars Ron Perlman, Whitney Cummings and Nora Dunn.
