Nicholas Stoller returns to the Apatow-style romantic comedy that tells of the desperate attempt of two friends to maintain a relationship.
Some films, in addition to their intentions and results, can and should be valued for their meaning in a specific context – social, political, industrial or narrative. This is the danger of approaching a film like ‘Bros’: a proposal that takes as a mirror –and quotes and revises with self-confidence and humor– romantic comedy classics such as ‘When Harry Met Sally’ (R. Reiner , 1989) or ‘You have an e-mail’ (N. Ephron, 1998), but whose originality and good work may be overshadowed if you only take into account that it is one of the first gay rom-com bets by a major.
Because that is there, but also the pillars of a genre that, for some time, has not had its best moments and that the film tries to revitalize: a neurotic protagonist along the lines of the best Hugh Grant, Diane Keaton or Meg Ryan; a boy-knows-boy textbook story, and a good dose of self-referential bad milk that takes more flight if possible to be aware that it must embrace the narrative conventions and that the only thing we need, wherever it comes from, is love.
