Review of Bros

Bros (I) (2022)
7/10
Pretty funny.
23 June 2023
Bobby and Aaron, two single gay men in their 40's learn that there's more than just a sexual spark after booking up, that there's the chance for both of them of something resembling commitment.

I genuinely wanted to love this movie, and it's one that will probably deserve a second viewing, I did enjoy it, I'm just not sure I can see a broad mainstream appeal, it still feels a bit niche.

I think it definitely shows that relationships among gay men are truly not the same as those for straight couples, it is a very, very different world, with a very different set of rules.

There are several studios running that have produced gay themed films for years, there haven't been that many from the big players, this film certainly looks big budget, it's immaculately produced, it looks polished.

Some scenes are very funny, I really enjoyed the meetings, great bunch of characters. Of course it features an array of sexy scenes,

The acting is good, I personally liked Eichner, yes his character is totally obnoxious, but trust me, such people do exist. Macfarlane was really good, definitely a guy with a broad appeal (and jaw line.) Look out for plenty of cameos from well known faces.

There are stereotypes, but arguably some are being sent up in very well spirited, tongue in cheek fashion, it's more than aware of some of the more outrageous aspects of modern gay life.

Well meaning and pretty funny.

7/10.
