Bros Movie Review

admin — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 16:36:10 +0000

As the concept of a land called Hollywood finally begins to achieve the level of inclusivity that it should have always had, Bros comes along to help blow the doors wide open. When you approach things with an unrestricted mindset, it opens up more avenues for humour.

So many topics get skewered in the cause of making the audience laugh. Gender politics are used as fodder for humour as well as the difficulty in connecting in a world where everyone is linked by an electronic device. And through it all, one thing remains clear, gay dating can be every bit as messy as the heterosexual version.

Most of the elements that make up successful rom-coms get played out here. Bobby (Billy Eichner) meets boy Aaron (Luke Macfarlane), falls for boy, loses boy and well, you know the rest. The budding romance is intertwined with the politics that any couple face on the road to happiness.

Whether it’s boy meets girl or boy meets boy, it’s never that easy to truly connect with a fellow human being. The sometimes absurd lengths people go to to create a union are always great topics for humour. Bros prove that laughter is a universal reaction to the oftentimes absurdity of that human endeavour.

This spring, Universal Pictures proudly presents the first romantic comedy from a major studio about two gay men maybe, possibly, probably, stumbling towards love. Maybe. They’re both very busy.

From the ferocious comic mind of Billy Eichner (Billy on the Street, 2019’s The Lion King, Difficult People, Impeachment: American Crime Story) and the hitmaking brilliance of filmmakers Nicholas Stoller (the Neighbors films, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Judd Apatow (The King of Staten Island, Trainwreck, The Big Sick), comes Bros, a smart, swoony and heartfelt comedy about how hard it is to find another tolerable human being to go through life with.

Starring Billy Eichner, the first openly gay man to co-write and star in his own major studio film—and featuring an entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast, including Luke Macfarlane (Killjoys), Ts Madison (The Ts Madison Experience), Monica Raymund (Chicago Fire), Guillermo Díaz (Scandal), Guy Branum (The Other Two) and Amanda Bearse (Married …with Children)—Bros is directed by Nicholas Stoller from his screenplay with Eichner. The film is produced by Judd Apatow, Stoller and Joshua Church (co-producer Trainwreck, Step Brothers) and is executive produced by Eichner.

BROS will be released in Australian cinemas October 27!
