(Picture: Nicole Rivelli/Universal Pictures)There’s so much to applaud about this touching, hilarious and frequently graphic gay rom-com, which flopped at the US box office, causing leading man Billy Eichner (also the film’s co-writer) to tweet, “Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight!”
Are you surprised to learn that, in the film itself, abrasive hero Bobby rails against homophobia, even when it would be politic to keep shtum? Bobby and his creator are diplomacy-averse. Good for them.
