"The Brothers Solomon" is a comedy film released on September 7, 2007, starring Will Arnett and Will Forte.

Plot

John (Will Arnett) and Dean (Will Forte) are two sheltered happy-go-lucky brothers who want nothing more than to please their ailing father (Lee Majors). Deciding a grandson will do the trick, the clueless boys set out to find a woman who can give them a baby. Finding Janine (Kristen Wiig) on Craigslist, the brothers find the woman of their dreams, artificially inseminating her and spending the next nine months on a roller coaster of life, facing romantic and parental challenges along the way that are no match for their sunny attitude

Production

The tag line on the poster, and a line spoken during the movie, "They want to put a baby in you" may be an allusion to the 2005 song "I Put A Baby In You" by Robby Roadsteamer.
