Review: 'Brother's Justice' Earns The Title Of Least Convincing Mockumentary ...

1) Dax Shepard wants to make a martial arts movie.

Dax Shepard, if you recall, was a comedic performer who got his start on the hidden comedy prank show “ Punk’d .” While it seemed like his sudden omnipresence in a number of studio comedies could be attributed to a relationship with “Punk’d” creator Ashton Kutcher , he was able to carve out a respectably funny persona in supporting roles from films like “ Baby Mama ” and “ Idiocracy .”

In “Brother’s Justice,” Shepard documents what he feels is a million dollar idea: a martial arts film featuring him as one of two brothers who are forced to battle numerous assailants as they make their way down a mountain. The idea itself seems half-hearted, and we only get snippets of the story, but it doesn’t sound like an unworkable story concept. The joke seems to be that this undertaking would happen courtesy of Shepard, and that there would be an implausibility to a comedic performer like himself trying to be an action star.

The problem with this conceit is… who is Dax Shepard? Despite a solid resume, he’s only a bit-player in Hollywood, a supporting actor who doesn’t necessarily come across as a comedian. His best roles seem to play off his gangly physicality and a delivery that can go from disinterested to overwhelmingly aggressive within seconds. In fact, if you were to know nothing of his career, you would see him and conclude he was some sort of action star, or at least a manageable dramatic actor. Seeing him try to develop a kung-fu film is meant to subvert our image of Shepard, but there simply isn’t an image to subvert.

2) Dax Shepard is trying to get a movie made without a script.

We see Shepard pitching a number of celebrities, including best friend Kutcher, on “Brother’s Justice.” But no one bites. Part of that is because Shepard, who has sold scripts in real life that have yet to go into production, is pitching himself to close friends as an action star. What’s more noticeable is that, at least early on, he has nothing written down. No scriptment, no outline, no storyboards.

Let's Skit Busy! Christian Skits by Fred Passmore: Mother's Day Skits

Written for Mother's Day, but good any time, this skit will have everyone in stitches! Mama, settling in for a nice quiet evening with her TV, gets more excitement than she bargained for -or wanted- when her writer son drops in. Getting all choked up -literally- over his tribute to mothers, Mama wonders: will she ever get to watch her movie, or will she end up in the hospital? A hysterical 8-10 minute sketch with a heart! Click here to read it!

We performed "How Nick Became a Saint" last Dec. 24th and our church loved it. It was so funny! I received the soundtrack so quickly and now we are back to perform Mama's Close Call on our Mother's Day service. Your site has been such a blessing to our ministry. It allows young and old to recieve the message of Jesus Christ and laugh all in the same experience! I have been writing plays for my church for approximately 13 years. I am working on my masters degree at the school of the arts in California (Motion Pictures and Television) to learn how to convert plays into screenplays. I am working on a school project and didn't have time to write one for the church for mother's day, that's when I searched the internet. When I read your material I was really impressed. I had so much fun doing your skit, that we will be using more of your scripts throughout the year. I usually do two major performances during the year (Christmas and Easter). The girl that had been practicing with me, called me Sunday morning (just hours before we were suppose to perform the skit) and told me that she could not be at church to do the skit. Her mother-in-law has been on a waiting list for a liver transplant and the hospital called and said they had a liver for her. Praise God for the new liver! I was happy to hear this but I was depressed that I was not going to be able to perform the skit. When I got to the church and told my pastor what had happen and that there was not going to be a skit, he felt like I did. When I went into the sanctuary to put everything back on the stage, I noticed that everything needed for Mama was still there. All of sudden it hit me…I needed to get my wife to be my Mama! She knew about 2/3 of the skit because she ran lines with me. After much convincing she said yes and she put on the wig, housecoat, and slippers. With a little bit of practice on the other 1/3 of the skit, she got up there and performed it like a pro. God is so good! A mother got a liver she needed and my wife (who is also a mother) got up on stage with me to perform the skit that was meant to be performed on Mother’s Day.
