Bros bombed at the box office then became subject of controversy when the stars claimed audiences were homophobic. That was not the problem, the problem was it just looked like your basic romcom(only gay) and it is. The jokes(while gay and poking fun at rom coms) are still quite dated. If this was a hetero rom com it would be stale, but here it is progressive(which is great) but the jokes just don't land. The gross out humor doesn't feel shocking, it doesn't feel quite forced but i could see some that have never had gay sex finding it uncomfortable. The lead is quite insufferable, which is the character....and essentially the plot...but even the redemption third act that rom coms have doesn't make him likable. This was a cute flick at times but definitely needed trimming and just an overall better script.
