Bros Reviews
Beyond its historical value, the movie is relevant because it puts characters at the center of its narrative who have rarely been the protagonists in mainstream love stories. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 26, 2024
Eichner hits most of the right notes, lovingly lambasting queer culture, but this movie follows too many of the same romcom tropes as its heterosexual contemporaries.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2024
I’ve never experienced such whiplash during a movie

It did not need to have a theatrical release…throw it on HBOMax

While the film does a fine job taking romantic comedy tropes and giving them the gay treatment, they remain tropes.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 5, 2023
Bros is a genuine, authentic, insanely hilarious breath of fresh air. Clever satirical comedy rips out loud back-to-back laughs throughout the entire runtime without ever causing viewers to lose their ear-to-ear smile.
| Original Score: A- | Jul 25, 2023
A down right heartfelt, hilarious, & most importantly RAUNCHY! They truly don’t make films like this anymore & Bros breaks through as a must watch! Billy is perfect, Luke is a revelation, & Stoller is back with one of his best.

Bros stands alone as an honest and funny depiction of two cis gay men not sure of what they’re looking for. They just know they don’t want to do it alone. It is laugh-out-loud funny at a time when we desperately need to be laughing in a movie theater.

Bros is too obsessed with its own ideas of grandeur. Like the first-of-its-kind LGBTQ history museum Bobby is trying to open, Bros believes that it will single-handedly save queer cinema. However, queer cinema never needed saving in the first place.

Eichner has made something that he can be proud of and hopefully it will open the door for more diverse queer voices to be heard.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 14, 2023
The funniest movie in a long time.
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 6, 2023
A resounding reset of the rom-com, Bros injects a modern reality into a stagnant genre.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 6, 2023
Bros is one of the best romantic comedies of the decade, offering plenty of laughs and maybe even a few tears by the end of it
| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 2, 2023
Beneath its sometimes too-obvious meta examination of commercialized queer romance and comedy, Bros manages a sincere exploration of what it means to experience and depict queer love in its truly radical nature.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jan 4, 2023
Bobby and Aaron both look surprised, as we always are by love. Bros is wonderfully funny, and quietly subversive. Take your parents.

Bros warmly embraces the cosy conventions of a boy meets boy love story and tempers emotional gooeyness with the acerbic wit of lead actor Billy Eichner.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Dec 17, 2022
A thoughtful, tremendously funny treat and one of the best comedies of recent years, consider Bros worthy of a fist bump.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 16, 2022
Bros is a sweet, raunchy R comedy filled with a positive message and indelible performances especially by Eichner himself.
| Original Score: B | Dec 10, 2022
If the film lacks something, it's being more self-aware, not so much in reference to the clichés of the LGBTQ+ community (there are a few mentions of that), but more to the stereotypes of gender and romance in American cinema. Full review in Spanish.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 30, 2022
Riffing on romcom conventions while also shamelessly indulging in them, this is a breezy, enjoyable romp that does a good job of commenting on the differences between gay and straight dating culture.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 28, 2022
