Bros: A Mainstream Rom-Com That Proudly Plants A Rainbow Flag Into The Genre

November 01, 2022 / Aaron Haughton

Comedian Billy Eichner teams up with director Nicholas Stroller and producer Judd Apatow for Bros, a historic Rom-Com that proudly plants its rainbow flag into the genre in ways it’s never been before. The film is as informative as it is fun, dishing out LGBTQIA+ history along with the jokes jokes, but its tale of opposites attracting is a familiar one. As much as it pokes fun at the genre and its sappy tendencies, it also falls prey to the conventions itself, albeit in mostly amusing and humorous ways.

Palm Springs, a Hulu Original film, marks the debut of director Max Barbakow and screenwriter Andy Siara, who both prove they’ve got some strong chops and a clear vision. The film made a big splash when it premiered at Sundance in January, but has garnered even more acclaim since its release due to its brisk pace, comedic antics, and delightful riffs on the Groundhog Day formula.
