No one dies of AIDS. No one gets tire-ironed on the side of the road. Judd Apatow produced the thing, so you know it\u2019s funny. And yet, somehow, \u201cBros\u201d doesn\u2019t feel like that big a deal. Sure, it\u2019s a well-budgeted, wide-release, R-rated gay romcom, and that\u2019s historic (if you put enough qualifying adjectives in front of it). But one of those had to come along sooner or later. Oddly, it feels like there already have been others, and there\u2019s no question more are coming, considering how hard Hollywood has been working to include gay characters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The difference in what we\u2019ll call \u201cBilly Eichner\u2019s Hollywood Screen Kiss\u201d is that it centers a gay character, instead of just using him as sassy comic support. Beyond that, a cute, cranky, super-articulate and incredibly self-absorbed co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n has gone and made a movie in which a thinly veiled version of himself wrestles with whether or not he wants to be in a relationship. If that sounds like every Woody Allen movie ever, or a bunch of Billy Crystal <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, or even the last few Judd Apatow productions, you wouldn\u2019t be wrong \u2014 except that here, some of the dialogue scenes are set during four-way orgies, because otherwise the movie would be rated PG-13 and you might as well be watching \u201cLove, Simon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Eichner plays podcaster Bobby Leiber who, in the second scene, accepts the Cis White Gay Man of the Year award. Later, the character will rant about how tough his life has been, how straight guys worked half as hard and went twice as far, but where\u2019s the proof? \u201cBros\u201d introduces him at the top of the mountain. He\u2019s just been hired to oversee a brand new LGBTQ+ Museum of History and Culture (Bobby describes it as a first, but like the movie, others have definitely gotten there before), and the only thing really missing in his life is someone who will listen unconditionally while he complains. Or maybe it\u2019s someone who, by showing an interest in him, will validate his insecurities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Despite a few funny scenes about dating <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s and hookup culture (and how, they\u2019re just like that Meg Ryan movie \u201cYou\u2019ve Got Mail,\u201d only not), it\u2019s not clear to audiences what Bobby wants because it\u2019s not clear to Bobby what he wants. A relationship? A friend with benefits? A hot guy to come home to? That uncertainty is perhaps the most authentic thing about \u201cBros\u201d (gay or straight, men are infamously commitment-averse), and yet, this element could be what co-writer and director Nicholas Stoller brings to the equation, considering how astutely he examined that aspect of modern dating in \u201cThe Five-Year Engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In \u201cBros,\u201d Bobby goes to the club one night and sees a chiseled guy with a gym body on the dance floor. He strikes up an awkward conversation with this seemingly out-of-his-league hunk, Aaron (Luke Macfarlane) \u2014 \u201cI hear you\u2019re boring,\u201d he begins, as if trying out Neil Strauss\u2019 \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>\u201d on another dude \u2014 and when that backfires, goes in for a kiss. Bobby finds it refreshing that Aaron isn\u2019t on the apps, but isn\u2019t bothered that the same night, he\u2019s hooking up with other people. This is the territory where \u201cBros\u201d breaks new ground, since the \u201crules\u201d of gay romcoms have yet to be codified: like whether having someone\u2019s undivided attention is a turn-off or a good thing, and what each character needs to feel appreciated and adored. Certainly, there aren\u2019t many straight love stories where a meet-cute is followed by one of the parties going off to shag someone else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There, surrounded by a sea of shirtless men, the two men bond over their mutual belief that \u201cgay guys are so stupid,\u201d which feels like a bit from Eichner\u2019s \u201cDifficult People\u201d series. But what does such a judgment mean to these two, who aren\u2019t shown reading books or discussing politics \u2014 unless you count talking about the gay experience, which is pretty much all Bobby does. He has provocative opinions (like \u201clove is love\u201d was just a marketing gimmick) worth exploring and strange taste in movies (Eichner ridicules how the Hallmark Channel has embraced LGBT relationships, but doesn\u2019t see the ways his own script exploits the same clich\u00e9s).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    . Being a podcast host conveniently serves as a comedy-adjacent career choice, allowing the character to wisecrack at will, while Bobby\u2019s museum job becomes a place to audition fresh material about lesbians, bisexual and trans people (Abraham Lincoln\u2019s legacy is reassessed, while Caitlyn Jenner is described as a \u201ctrans terrorist\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cBros\u201d is confident enough being about queer characters that it doesn\u2019t have to make them all likable. In fact, Eichner may not win you over at all. Aaron obviously likes him, despite spending most of their dates ogling other guys (the film makes some strong points about body dysmorphia among the image-conscious community). Whenever Bobby invites Aaron to something, however, Bobby winds up prioritizing work. It seems like a big step when the holidays roll around and Aaron proposes introducing Bobby to his parents \u2014 but then he backtracks by saying, \u201cMaybe you could be a little less yourself for like three hours,\u201d to which Bobby is understandably offended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    If you don\u2019t count pandemic-made blunder \u201cThe Bubble,\u201d Apatow\u2019s recent formula \u2014 from \u201cTrainwreck\u201d to \u201cThe King of Staten Island\u201d \u2014 is to take a funny person and encourage them to be the most themselves they can be for nearly three hours, so it\u2019s clear where he stands on this comment. But we get it. Eichner is a lot to deal with, and not because he\u2019s gay. He just doesn\u2019t seem interested in sharing the oxygen with anybody else. Why is Aaron the one who hates his life and has to quit his job in this movie? Wouldn\u2019t it be more satisfying for perennially dissatisfied Bobby to evolve in some way, beyond merely realizing that he was happier with Aaron around?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There are plenty of audiences out there who\u2019ve been waiting their entire lives for Hollywood to greenlight a mainstream gay movie (and sure, we\u2019ll pretend that all the queer-friendly content on HBO and Netflix doesn\u2019t count, that \u201cThe Birdcage\u201d and \u201cIn &amp; Out\u201d never happened, that John Waters is too cult and \u201cMoonlight\u201d too marginal). But it won\u2019t be lost on them that when the industry decided it was ready for a film like \u201cBros\u201d to exist, the leads wound up being two conventionally handsome cis white men. Yes, there\u2019s a whole spectrum of experience still going unexplored, and yet, as Bobby and Aaron try to make their relationship work, \u201cBros\u201d does a decent job of showing how incredibly different and complex these two characters can be. \u201cStraight people love seeing us miserable,\u201d Bobby observes at one point, and though Eichner gives the gays a happy ending and lots of laughs along the way, damned if he doesn\u2019t seem miserable for most of the movie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
