Billy on Film
Bros is about Bobby, an internet star/LGBTQ activist who is struggling to find his one true love AND struggles with the different mindset people around him have. He meets another guy he likes but Bobby's own internal conflicts AND difference on how they handle their sexuality causes things to go south unexpectedly.
Overall, the film is a good romcom. It is for the most part, a lovely coda for the broken lonely person that could not let go of their own complexes. Eichner is wonderful as Bobby, a person who is just to riddled by his own insecurities and ultimately differing notions that he is stunted and riddled with. The story flows wondefully and really dissected and parodied multiple different section of the community that its star truly wanted to portray .
Though, I think the failure of the film is pretty much spelled out in the first five minutes of the film though. For the most part, Bobby (and pretty much a lot of them) is left half screaming about his neurosis in a very aggressive manner that does not really make sense sometimes. I wish that itself would have been at least one straight man (in a comedic sense BTW) to at least put things into perspective AND help guide some viewers looking in this foreign landscapes. It can really really irritating.
Also the comedy in this film can be too much tongue in cheek. You do not need to spell out how this voguers are manhandling you. Thank god for the great central romance of the film BUT again, can get very irritating at times.
Overall, a well made film that could be described 'Billy on Film". Too much at times but fun in small tidbits.
PS: Shoutout to Amanda Bearse! Love her in Married with Children AND importantly one of the earliest OUT stars.
