Genre: Comedy is the only genre that pertains to this film.
Narrative: The opening scene start off with the two brothers staring off their day on a bright morning. We can clearly see right off the bat that their actions do not seem adequate to one of a middle aged man. Whilst one brother is making his own version of what seems to be ‘nachos’ in a microwave, the other is playing with his drum-set. What the opening scene is attempting to portray, is two men who still act like children. In my opinion this opening could not have been done any better since it perfectly gives the viewer the right mindset of what they will be dealing with.
Location: The movie was primarily shot in California, USA.
Audience: The film is rated ‘R’ for crude and sexual content, and pervasive language. This means that one must be 18 years old or older to view the film, or must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
Codes and Conventions: Throughout the movie, a good balance of joyful tones and colors were used. The color grading is done quite well and lightly since it should portray something that is both hilarious and thrilling at the same time. Since no incredibly dramatic scenes happen throughout the film, the use of heavier color tones such as dark red and blue are not necessary. In terms of audio, most of the film was shot with diegetic sounds because not SFX was needed to be added due to it being such a relatively calm movie.
