MOVIE REVIEW: Gay rom-com brosthemovie isn't just a straight rom-com in a different hat.
) to get inside modern gay relationships – or, more especially, affluent, white, middle-class, cis gay male relationships in New York.has an element of sex comedy about it, mostly about the awkwardness of one-night stands or of asking and receiving. It's arguably less explicit than something like another Stoller project,.
And, of course, what really matters is the relationship. Eichner and Macfarlane have a fresh and unique energy when it comes to rom-coms – and it's not just because they're two guys. As Leiber, Eichner tones down his early histrionic and playfully acerbic comedy style for something a little more bitter.
Now, as a cis heterosexual man not living in New York, I can't honestly say how accurate this all is – but that's not the point. Eichner and Stoller have done something important in making a comedy about modern gay love that says it's just like modern straight love – well, no, scratch that. Their whole film is about showing how modern gay relationships aren't quite the same as modern straight relationships, but the differences aren't important.
