Interesting plot but it didn't work, kind of like the plot. The characters didn't connect to each other. Jermaine was the only believable character

The inappropriate nature of this movie is something I don't appealing. I fail to see why people even kind of like this movie.

How bad can a movie be? How on earth anyone can pay for a script like this and use 10 million dollars in production? This movie is worse than "The Room". Do avoid "Gentlemen Broncos" at all cost, it sucks life out of anybody.

Grentlemen Broncos tiene un buen contenido poco aprovechado con personajes ridículos y poco entendibles no logra la idea principal después de un tiempo y el autor de la película actúa como un idiota perdido,sin saber que lo estan estafando.

The movie practically shouts its absurdities at its audience, pleading for them to become catchphrases and fads. But what won hearts with Napoleon Dynamite was its spontaneity. In contrast, Gentleman Broncos is cold calculated absurdity. And in this reviewer's opinion, it is flat-out awful. I haven't found myself less entertained in years, and have rarely found myself more insulted as a viewer by a movie smugly assuming own charm. Avoid this.… Expand

The only scene worth watching is the hidden finale, after the credits have rolled, with Sam Rockwell as Bronco. Watch it on YouTube or something.

It is apparent that the Hess siblings desiderated to fancy their own works with their newest film Gentlemen Broncos. To qualify, Gentlemen Broncos utilizes the same exact formula of a societal misfit used in both Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite. While those two comedic movies were both equally unique and humorous, Broncos feels stale, farcical, and ultimately, a waste of my time.

Gentlemen Broncos is a story of Benjamin(Michael Angarano), a home-schooled misfit, who inspires to become a prominent science fiction writer. Benjamin attends a writing workshop headed by Chevalier (Jemaine Clement), his paragon of an author, who steals his story leaving the characters in tangles of plagiarism and adaptation rights.
