" the fighting sullivans " contains a major plot development in the last ten minutes that every movie guide has seen fit to give away .
there was no dramatic tension for me while watching the film , as i knew exactly what was going to happen .
and that 's the worst thing that can happen before viewing a movie .
because of this , i will tread lightly so i do n't ruin it for anyone reading this review , and it would be very advisable to avoid all other material regarding this film until after you have seen it .
"
the fighting sullivans " revolves around a family that consists of a mother , father , sister , and five brothers .
the brothers are very close , despite the occasional disagreement .
they are inseperable , and never stray from one another .
their friendship and loyalty is the foundation of this picture .
the first half of the movie follows the brothers as young children , and their various adventures .
when four of them get into a fight with some local boys , the youngest sullivan , who is inside a church at the time , comes running out to assist , but not before properly exiting the chapel .
if i 'm being awfully vague about details , it 's because what i have told you is essentially the first hour and a half .
all i can say is go watch this film , because it is a fine portrait of a family that sticks together , through the good and the bad .
and after you see the movie , you will understand why this review has been written the way it has .
it is a fine portrait of a family that sticks together go watch this film
