Make no mistake, it's a rom-com, and the most consistently funny one in a long time.… Expand

This is a frank, illuminating and — most of all — funny glimpse into some of the challenges and intricacies laid at the feet of certain archetypes within the LGBT community, a realm of humankind that I know I'm nowhere near as well-versed on as I probably should be. At the end of the day, this is what movies are all about — learning about different experiences and kinds of conflict that the human condition can endure. In that, I found "Bros" to be not only entertaining, but interesting in its handling of certain matters and ways of life that I'm unfamiliar with. Again, though, the humor is the real selling point for me, with everything hinging quite steadily on Eichner's lead performance. A solid time at the theater overall.… Expand

"Bros" was a cute and serviceable rom-com film: While the movie isn’t anything I would call “groundbreaking,” it manages to set out and accomplish what it was aiming to do… Be a good, first gay romantic comedy from a major studio. I can feel there was a good faith effort to be as inclusive as possible with as much LGBTQ+ representation as possible and every joke was handled very thoughtfully and with care. All of the running gags about Hallmark Christmas films where amazing and I kind of wish some of them would become actual movies!

Billy Eichner was hilarious and a surprisingly good singer and Luke Macfarlane might have been a bit TOO charming! The supporting cast was incredible as well, everybody brought a bit of something to the table to make this move as funny as it was.

If I were to make a slight nitpick on "Bros," I did notice a lot of obvious dub overs before cuts when characters were speaking. All-in-all, “Bros” was a fun watch and a great film to watch in theaters with friends. 7/10… Expand

There are lot's of funny jokes, sometimes used to ease the tension, I have laughed a lot, but the one thing that surprised me is that this film seems more self-aware and mature than most romantic comedies. Like, I am no expert, but typically in romantic comedies there are these silly misunderstandings that cause everything to spiral out of control, but they all could have been avoided with just a tiny bit of communication. This film seems to me more like real life, some things just need to be processed for people to grow and find happiness. I am really glad I went to see this film.… Expand

Who knows why relationships work or fail? That’s especially true when it comes to gay male partnerships, which often come and go like the wind and whose permanence or fleeting nature frequently rests on the unlikeliest of considerations. ButWho knows why relationships work or fail? That’s especially true when it comes to gay male partnerships, which often come and go like the wind and whose permanence or fleeting nature frequently rests on the unlikeliest of considerations. But sometimes they somehow manage to survive, despite their conundrums, quirkiness and seemingly deceptive dysfunctionality. Such is the case in director Nicholas Stoller’s brilliant new romantic comedy about a pair of apparently mismatched partners who wade their way through the murky, uncharted waters of same-sex romance, a sort of gay male version of "Annie Hall" (1977). In some ways, this picture employs an adapted version of a rather tried-and-true formula of boy-gets-boy/boy-loses-boy/boy-gets-boy-back-after-a-series-of-extracurricular-flings, an approach that has earned the film its share of criticism. However, given the ways in which that basic narrative is dressed up with snappy, often-hilarious writing, ample situational and sight gags, and just the right amount of heart-tugging, inspirational drama (without becoming schmaltzy or overly preachy), the picture generally succeeds across the board. Virtually all of the humor is positively spot-on, and it’s served up in an easily relatable way such that one need not be a card-carrying member of the LGBTQ+ community to grasp the jokes. The film also features an array of appearances by gay and gay-friendly icons like Harvey Fierstein, Debra Messing and Kristin Chenoweth, a variety of cameo appearances by big name Hollywood stars, and a host of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender performers. It’s also worth noting that the film’s principal producer/distributor, Universal Pictures, deserves a hearty round of applause for taking a chance on material like this. Indeed, the backing of a romantic comedy involving alternative lifestyles by a mainstream studio is truly groundbreaking in the movie industry, and, considering the critical success that this release has already garnered, this savvy move by a major player opens the door to greenlighting future projects of a similar nature, a rich vein of material that’s just waiting to be mined and finally has a shot of making it to the big screen. Sensitive viewers should be aware that there is some explicit sexual content in this release, but, considering the comic nature of much of it, it’s hard to envision not evoking laughs from even the most conservative audience members. Given how well this offering succeeds on so many fronts, it would be a shame if it were to be overlooked come awards season, especially when it comes to its writing. It’s refreshing to see a film that finally knocks it out of the park this year – and this truly is the one to have done it.… Expand

Evidentemente às vezes a mistura atrapalha o andamento da história, focada em dois homens brancos cis, mas como o filme tem plena consciência disso, é gostoso de acompanhar, especialmente porque o que não é malhado (sim, aqui ao menos o roteiro teve certa dignidade), lembra os trejeitos de um Woody Allen na versão gay, com os maneirismos típicos, até mesmo os excessos de petulância. O roteiro também sabe da posição de classe de ambos e da idade fora dos padrões para uma comunidade que supervaloriza a jovialidade.
Assim, com montagens eficientes sobre pegação no Grindr, embora o leque de referências estejam ali, tudo não passa de um romance leve e bobo, bem clichê, a respeito de dois caras que pretendem largar a vida de solteiro para tentar algo mais profundo, por mais que ambos digam não estarem apegados.
Chega a ser decepcionante ver acontecer típicas cenas dos filmes de romance, como romances, quebras de expectativas, desilusões, até o movimento redentor. E por mais que a tentativa de inclusão exista, o roteiro estigmatizou todos o demais elementos que não os personagens principais, servido mais como nota de rodapé.
Mas ao menos as atuações e sintonias estão afiadas, e há um discurso ligeiro conversando com a atual geração e não apenas isso, mas um alerta para a importância de se preservar a memória queer (um deles trabalha num museu), o que conferiu pontos positivos a todo esse emaranhado de lugares comuns.
Enfim, por se tratar de personagens gays e bem construídos (os personagens principais), acredito que vale a pena o esforço para assistir sem esperar muito em troca, claro.… Expand
