Bros

Synopsis:

Bobby is a neurotic podcast host who’s happy to go on Tinder dates and content not to have a serious relationship. That all changes when he meets Aaron, an equally detached lawyer who likes to play the field. Repeatedly drawn to each other, both men begin to show their vulnerable sides as their undeniable attraction turns into something resembling a commitment.

Quick Thoughts:

“Bros” had a LOT of hype leading up to it’s premiere, but ended up falling a bit flat in cinemas. A lot of it is due to Billy Eichner, who not only helped write the script but stars as one of our two gay leading men. Eichner is someone you either love or hate, which I think led to some of the mixed reviews. Personally, I found it difficult to relate to or even empathize with his character Bobby; it felt like he was being himself and not his character. However, I loved Luke Macfarlane as Aaron! While it took me a bit to see them as a couple, which is again part due to how the script portrays their relationship, they have some great moments together – basically whenever Eichner stops being annoying. So throw out what the critics said and give “Bros” a watch and decide for yourself whether it’s a good queer film!
