Though hardly the only gay romantic edy of note to emerge recent months (like Hulu’s “Fire Island, ” whose Bowen Yang pops up here as a lofty Provcetown lnaire), do boast the notable big-stud precent of an entirely LGBTQ prcipal st, albe one whose racial and sexual diversy happens to prop up a love story between two whe, cisgenr, gay men — somethg the movie acknowledg wh both a wk and a wce.

Also, ’s about 40-year-olds who fuck, not a g-out story about someone fumblg their first kiss, like roughly 90 percent of gay stori onscreen are, he clared to GQ. Eichner has done so much work to load down Bros wh qualified historil signifince, and to sist that ’s not like those other gay movi, that ’s a pleasant surprise to fally watch the thg and fd to be sexy, msy, and joyful, and rmed ls by a sense of s own importance than by a vague uncertaty that may have arrived too late to the party. It is, after all, a eful o to a whe masc-centric gay culture that the movie unrstands to be passé and exclnary even as has been s protagonist’s whole world.

Still, Bobby’s the newly appoted director of the first-ever LGBTQ mm, and the movie tak pas to tablish him as the host of a succsful gay-history podst first, maly to give him an exce for a disgted monologue to the mic about how he was approached by a Hollywood producer to wre the kd of gay romantic-edy “a straight guy might watch wh his girliend.

Aaron — whose tradnal masculy his some ternalized homophobia — reprents so much that loud, ant, nve-chted Bobby has rented and yet wants, and the film n’t que square his ristance wh his sire.
