MJM Productions

MJM Productions brings Hollywood to New Hampshire with the filming of Brotherhood.

Brotherhood is MJM's first born. After years in the entertainment business, MJM Productions privately funded and filmed its first motion picture. Below are some the reviews that we have received.

I felt that the characters in this film meshed well together. It was obvious that careful thought went into developing each of the character's personalities. I felt that Hamilton was an especially entertaining character, though somewhat stereotypical.
It didn't seem like Scott was an essential character. His personality seemed a bit fake and his character somewhat annoying. He didn't really seem to belong in the group at times.
I'd like to see the brotherhood become a TV series. I think it would be entertaining to see where the relationship between Becky and Jeff goes as well as what happens to the group in general.

I enjoyed the movie. Brotherhood has a plot that makes you want to see more. The Mary Anne's theme made me think of a great series of shows. Brotherhood could be the next Saved by the Bell or even 90210.
The acting was well done. The character Brian was easy to relate to.
Overall I thought Brotherhood has potential and could be a great TV series.

I thought the movie was great because it showed five "normal teenagers" just hanging out. I enjoyed the discussions at the diner and true to live dialog. The characters were believable, particularly Brian. It could have been longer. I was interested in watching what happened next. It would be something I would watch weekly.
Michael E. Brothers

I like the idea of a group of regular, younger people going through everyday situations. I found the characters interesting and believable and would be interested to see them in other situations. Overall, I thought it was a good show that I would like to see more of.

I thought this film was both humorous and entertaining. The characters in it, in my opinion, were well developed (especially Hamilton, he was my favorite). There was good chemistry between all the actors and the dialogue flowed well. I thought the movie was very appealing to the young adults and teenagers and I'd really like to see a TV series or movie.

I recently reviewed Brotherhood, a very funny and well-done film. By the end of the film, a strong connection is felt with the characters. The one actor I didn't like was the one who played Scott. It seems like he was trying a little to hard to play his character: it was a little overdone. Other than that, I really enjoyed the plot, and thought it was very well done. It was very likeable because of the characters and the situations they were put in. I can see this film being turned into a sitcom over a feature length. It has the quick humor and underlying jokes that give it a very television feel.
Overall, I really enjoyed this film. It made me laugh a lot, and kept my attention throughout. If it were to become a sitcom, I would definitely watch weekly.

I thought that all of your characters in the film were well-developed, with the exception of Scott. He seemed to have a more minor roll than the rest. The group dynamic was well done, and I think if this was made into a TV series the various character to character relationships could be developed more thoroughly. The defining qualities of each character were good, and have the potential to be played out to a fuller extent. If made into a TV series, I would like to see a plot that included conflict-resolution for more than just one character. I think developing the lives and problems of each character as well as the group as a whole has great potential.

After watching the short film, "Brotherhood," I immediately thought that the storyline could be easily adapted into a television series. I am sure that there would be a large viewer base for a show of this type, especially after the extreme popularity of the "American Pie" movies. The characters, especially Hamilton and Jeff, were all developed quite well through dialogue and the way in which they interacted with other characters.
The group of friends interacted with one another like they had known each other for a very long time. Their constant joking around and apparent feeling of comfort inside the group made the story much more believable. The plot line was extremely easy to follow, too. It had a smooth flow and was very simply introduced to the audience. In this type of story, the audience wants to know what is happening with each character, and "Brotherhood" did a very good job of keeping the audience well informed of each characters feelings and problems. Overall, I feel that "Brotherhood" was well done and would make a smooth transfer into a television series of full-length motion picture.
