BROS REVIEW: A BIG GAY ROM THAT’S A BIG OLD MS

Ameri’s “straight people, pecially certa parts of the untry, jt didn’t show up for Bros”, he clared, before urgg anyone who isn’t a “homophobic weirdo” to check out. Then me the thk piec: did Bros flop bee of homophobia?

Everythg is terrible: straight actors playg gay characters and the straight dienc who love them; gay men more terted workg out than explorg gay history; gay men whose voic sound “too straight”; gay men whose voic sound “too gay”. It’s as if a mean, judgy cyb and his himbo love tert have been dropped to a Nora Ephron better hands, this uld have been an tertgly cynil take on queer love on film – whe gay misery rather than Meg Ryan cutens. You n feel that rri the burn of beg one of the first of s kd, jt as Eichner’s Twter implosn the wake of the film’s release felt tged wh hurt and grief – a panic that s fancial failure uld have repercsns for gay cema far beyond Eichner himself.

COMMENTARY: THE REAL LSON OF ‘BROS’: IT’S OK TO LET GAY ART BOMB

“He looks like a gay Tom Brady, ” Bobby remarks to a iend.

Go to gaybrosfns.

r/gaybrosfns. I didn’t want to dimish “the first major stud movie wrten by and starrg a gay man” or spoil s Rotten Tomato sre or dance on the grave of s box-office prospects.
