Rhythm and Blues (Brothers)

I’ve always been a fan of 80s movies, and I can say that this one definitely lived up to my standards. This story follows two hip brothers that are seeking to raise money for an orphanage. Of course, this leads to an abundance of mayhem, mixed with musical performances.

After discovering that their orphanage will be shut down unless a $5,000 tax bill is settled within days. The brothers decide that they are “on a mission from God” and set out to do the only thing they know how: reunite their old blues band and perform a show to raise money.

Even though the ending results in them being able to save the orphanage, their rowdiness and crimes catch up to them, resulting in their arrest.  In the final scene, we see them playing for the other inmates with armed guards standing above the hall. This bittersweet nicely ties up the film, and I highly recommend the film to anyone into 80s films!
