About This Movie

The Joint Brothers is a quirky little gem from '86 that captures the struggle of two down-and-out friends with a unique blend of humor. Momo and Manu, both freshly unemployed, are thrown into a chaotic world when they seek shady employment from nightclub owner Sammy. The comedy unfolds with a light-hearted, almost absurd atmosphere, but there’s a deeper undercurrent of friendship and resilience that runs through it. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it kind of adds to the charm, giving it that offbeat vibe. The performances feel genuine, especially the chemistry between the leads. It's distinctive for its raw, almost improvisational feel, reminiscent of the indie scene of the time.
