Story: Bros starts as LGBTQ+ podcaster Bobby (Eichner) has been campaigning for rights with his show, and finds himself struggling with love. His latest attraction comes from former sports star Aaron (Macfarlane) as they both have the same opinions on relationships.
The two find themselves putting their differences aside for a relationship. However, not everything is what they expected and they must learn to overcome their own personal problems about falling in love.
Verdict on Bros
Bros is a romantic comedy following two gay guys from different worlds that fall in love. They must look at their own lives and decide whether they are ready for a relationship. This sees them diving through different elements of what makes a relationship a thing.
The movie does get to dive behind the curtains of a gay relationship. It shows things can be different and they must overcome problems from the outside looking in. There are different things for them to overcome and because of certain people’s reactions toward them, they hold back from certain parts of a relationship. It does get laughs and does pull on love heartstrings. We might not get much different but we get a love story from a different angle.
Final Thoughts – Bros is an enjoyable romantic comedy.
