"Utterly Charming RomCom"
Star and co-writer Billy Eichner's entertainingly in your face romantic comedy gets a DVD and Blu-ray release from Mediumtrare Entertainment.
Bobby (Eichner) is a podcaster with a place on the board of a local LGBTQ+ history museum that's in desperate need of funding for it to even open. His romantic life consists of brief Tinder hookups and he's content (albeit neurotically) to remain single. But that all changes one night when he meets Aaron (Luke MacFarlane) who is far happier just to play the field. Gradually the two men are drawn together in the good old-fashioned romcom manner.
BROS is almost consistently charming, frequently laugh out loud funny, and gives the Hollywood glitz and glamour treatment to a lifestyle with which many viewers of mainstream cinema will be unfamiliar. It's a little bit long (no innuendo intended) and could have done with tightening up (ditto) here and there, but overall the characters are likeable, there are plenty of funny set-pieces, and we even get Debra Messing turning up for a cameo playing herself.
Mediumrare's disc comes with a stack of extras, including 13 minutes of deleted scenes. If you only watch one watch the Pride Fight scene. I know I've just said the film is a bit too long but it's a shame they left this out. There's also a four minute gag reel and six behind the scenes featurettes including a 13 minute making of, six minutes on the filming of the deleted 'Pride Fight' scene, eight minutes on the cast, and a selection of other bits and pieces including Art of the RomCom and the filming location for the LGBTQ+ history museum. Here's the trailer:
BROS is out on DVD and Blu-ray from Mediumrare Entertainment on Monday 6th February 2023 - just in time for Valentine's Day!
