Ditched by his beloved, budding musician Alex thinks things can't get much worse. But when he's fired by both his band mate and eventually his real estate office boss, it's safe to say that he hits rockbottom. Performing gigs at every opportunity (including a special needs school), he is in dire need of his big break. That's were Jim comes in. Jim is a musical enthusiast who develops big ideas after hearing Alex perform. He books a string of US tour dates for the two of them to embark on together to Alex's initial resentment and utter reluctance. Their amateur performances kick off at a wobbly start but the pair eventually start to bounce of one another and create a new sound that sparks interest from audiences. However, the tour comes to an abrupt halt when their unreliable 'tour manager' Cassidy abandons them and Alex is forced to quit the tour and escape to his brother's house where he goes on a journey of self-discovery.
This musical comedy is an appropriate testimony to the trend of experimental music currently catching the world's interest. Directed by actor Ryan O'Nan in his directorial debut, 'The Brooklyn Brothers Beat The Best' is a story of hope, adventure and dreams with hilarious acting performances and often near the knuckle jokes. The film will be released in the UK on July 20th 2012.
