To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck!

Two best friends—one unlucky-in-love divorcee (ROBIN WILLIAMS) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (JOHN TRAVOLTA)—have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of 7-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers ELLA BLEU TRAVOLTA and CONNER RAYBURN), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life.

When a decorated Marine goes missing overseas, his black-sheep younger brother cares for his wife and children at home—with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family.

Spiderman's Tobey Maguire plays the MIA Marine who comes home to find out his wife played by Natalie Portman (Star Wars I, II, III) had an intimate moment with his younger brother Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Prince of Persia).  In this movie clip from BROTHERS, Tobey Maguire goes ballistic in the kitchen upon his return home.

More on BROTHERS:
BROTHERS tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites.  A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters (Bailee Madison, Taylor Grace Geare).  Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm.  He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, at Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Mare Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Sam Shepard), a retired Marine.

Shipped out to Afghanistan, Sam is presumed dead when his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains.  At home in suburbia, the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void, and Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children.

But Sam is not dead; he and a fellow soldier have been captured by Taliban fighters.  In Afghanistan’s harsh, remote Pamir Mountains, Sam is subjected to traumas that threaten to rob him of his very humanity.  At the same time that Sam’s sense of self is being destroyed overseas, Tommy’s self-image is strengthening at home.  And in the grief and strangeness of their new lives, Grace and Tommy are naturally drawn together.  Their longstanding frostiness dissolves, but both are frightened and ashamed of the mutual attraction that has replaced it. 

When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, a nervous mood settles over the family.  Sam, uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, grows suspicious of his brother and his wife.  Their familiar roles now nearly reversed, Sam and Tommy end up facing the ultimate physical and mental challenge when they confront each other. In the shifting family dynamics, who will dominate? And how will the brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood—and with the woman caught between them?
