A romantic comedy between two men in their forties in Manhattan: Bobby (Billy Eichner) is an outspoken curator of the new LGBTQ+ history museum; Aaron (Luke Macfarlane) is a lawyer who dreams of being a chocolatier. While the two are not relationship-seeking, their mutual attraction grows.
The humour of this film is its greatest asset: Eichner is hilarious as a mile-a-minute talker firing off some great lines (he's one of the film's writers along with Nicholas Stoller, the film's director). There are also enjoyable museum board meetings that take more than a few fun jabs at victim consciousness among modern activists. Like many other rom-coms, this one includes the conflicts of polar opposite personalities between the two leads. And there's more enjoyable mockery as the film takes on the dating and sex scenes in the gay world with flawed but funny personalities.
Outside the humour and sharp-tongued sarcasm, there is a warm side to the film (like other rom-coms). For "Bros", this is best shown during the conclusion with Eichner's monologue.
An enjoyable film overall. - dbamateurcritic.
