We couldn't make it past the first half hour. So camp I was embarrassed for the actors who were essentially performing the equivalent of black face. It's shocking to me that in 2023 you can't write for a gay character without relying on the same old cliche tropes. Applies to Mario also: It’s-a-me, super letdown. I just wasn’t buying the Bros relationship; was equally cartoonish. Edited June 16, 2023 by SirBillybob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, but I’d finance and jump the broom with college crush Josh made to look a bit dumpier in the film (wonder why) … Aaron and him sharing a set trailer; now that’s a trailer I wanna see.

TonyDown Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Just watched, on Starz. It's worth a watch. Billy Eichner could have toned down his mouth now and then. We get it, you know? Calm down. But yeah there is a lot of funny stuff. I love Bowen Yang. Needed more of him. Luke McFarlane was yummy and also a great actor. Love to see more of him.

BSR Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) I finally got around to seeing Bros. The reviews on this thread and elsewhere set my expectations so low that I actually ended up liking it. That's not to say, however, that I thought it was a good movie. I went into it with a touch of animus against Billy Eichner after he blamed the bomb at the box office on homophobia. It's called personal responsibility, pal, a concept you should have learned decades ago. I don't get these narcissists who reflexively blame their failures on everyone but themselves, like when the female Ghostbusters cast blamed sexism for their bomb. Nope, in both cases, the movie sucked. I disagree that Eichner played the "typical" New Yorker, stereotypical more like. Either/or, I can't say I particularly liked the character or Eichner as an actor. Same difference perhaps, because I'm pretty sure Eichner was simply playing himself. The museum board also grated on me. While I do appreciate the ability to laugh at oneself, the lines and the actors' delivery came off as way too forced. It all felt like a desperate stand-up comedian trying way too hard to be funny, so he ends up just being cringe. It wasn't all bad, of course. I was pleasantly surprised by Luke McFarlane and his character. I wasn't a fan before because I didn't care for him in Brothers and Sisters, but he was great in this. I also loved the guest stars Harvey Fierstein and Debra Messing (even though I couldn't stand her on Will & Grace). And I loved the scenes in beautiful Provincetown. Does P-town really look that postcard-perfect? The movie's best scene was the one toward the end with Eichner and his straight female friend, where she talks him into trying again. They were two normal people having a conversation that sounded like the way real people speak. If the movie had done a lot more of that, as opposed to trying waaaaay too hard, I would have liked Bros a lot more than I did. PS: they should film an alternate ending as a bonus extra for DVD/blu-ray, one in which McFarlane ditches Eichnar and all his high-strung neuroses to run off with the hunky high school hockey crush.
