The trailer for Bros, comedian Billy Eichner‘s groundbreaking studio film, has finally arrived.
The gay rom-com, directed by Nicholas Stoller, will feature an entirely LGBTQ principal cast — even in the straight roles — that includes Eichner, Luke Macfarlane (Killjoys), Ts Madison (The Ts Madison Experience), Monica Raymund (Chicago Fire), Guillermo Díaz (Scandal), Guy Branum (The Other Two) and Amanda Bearse (Married …with Children).
“From the very beginning of developing Bros, I let everyone involved know that, while I wanted to make a movie that was hilarious and relatable to everyone, first and foremost I wanted to make a movie that felt authentic for the LGBTQ folks that the movie is about – and who have been so profoundly underserved by Hollywood over the years, particularly the major movie studios,” Eichner wrote in a press release accompanying the trailer. “From the storytelling to the casting to the crew, it was crucial for me that the needs of LGBTQ+ people were being prioritized.”
He continued: “I’ve been an out performer since the first time I stepped on a comedy stage in NY over 20 years ago. And while it’s insane to me that it took this long to get this movie made, it’s still incredibly exciting to me – and a real sign of progress – that the same studio making movies like Jurassic World and The Fast and the Furious is also releasing this R rated gay rom with an all LGBTQ+ cast, and with as much passion and enthusiasm as they release those other films. It’s taken way too long. I wish we had a movie like Bros when I was a kid – but I’m so excited and proud that this day has finally come!”
Watch:
Bros arrives in theaters on September 30.

The only problem I have with this film is the failure to use UNION background.

If this is something that appeals to you, I hope you enjoy it. For me it was really…um…bad.
Davidflys
2 min. preview and you know all about the movie, and how bad it is. You obviously are much smarter, or clairvoyant than I am.

Looks spot on to me i,m your old Gay, and this trailer alone was good, Love Billy E

On the one hand, Billy Eichner’s screaming shtick gets annoying fast. On the other hand, this does look pretty funny. So I’ll probably see it when it hits the theaters.
CatholicXXX
Very. Billy’s voice/shouting is fine for 10 minutes, but after that it’s just grating
lykeitiz
Laughed more than once during the trailer, so I’m in.

This is going to be precious. LOL.

OMG, the aerobics in the ball pit and the bouncer carrying off the queen with the fans from the dance floor destroyed me.
Amalgamate
Looks awful. Unfortunately, Billy is ten years too old for the part, but too vain to let someone else play it. Pass.

Bitter, party of 1..Bitter party of 1 your table with the other children is ready.

looks fun!!
RandomGuy
A movie featuring every gay stereotype known to man, with a cast made up of pretty muscle dudes, and a couple of average guys, to provide comic relief, it sounds truly groundbreaking.
Huron132
Sounds life my life! I’m the average guy in a pool, pond, lake, sea and ocean of plastics who are rude no matter what. Every stereotype are my friends. So this will be a movie I will see and love!
xanadude
Could be funny, but yet another totally unrealistic portrayal of “gay life.”
That and the trailer is confusing, is it a movie about making a movie? What’s with the narrative?
Just.my.opinion
I plan to reluctantly watch this movie, even though I absolutely cannot stand Billy Eichner. I hope the rest of the cast will make up for his annoying presence.

No shit, Sherlock!

Looks delish and the script made me laugh. The dike is precious. Will watch it for sure.
SFMike
The trailer had me laughing so I’m all in on this one and the fact we finally see one of my all time crushes, Luke Macfarlane, down with some onscreen man action instead of a Christmas Hallmark movie makes this a must see.

I have a fear that every “funny” part was probably in the trailer……hope I’m proven wrong.
SDR94103
looks good!
David Pumo
And all the leads are white ……………. zzzzzzzzz
DrJones
Hot damn some of these comments are sad. What else do you want to complain about?? Be happy this movie even got made! Fine, you don’t like Billy Eichner, then I guess go watch Chapelle??!! I think this movie will be great, gays deserve at least ONE funny movie about dating life that isn’t produced by Wolfe or whatever other “niche” studio with a budget of about $5.
powersthatbe
It doesn’t endorse a way of life, it describes one. Rome wasn’t built in a day, y’all.
BrookeBurgess
Wow. I’m in.
CanuckD
Looks great, wish they would have cast someone other than Billy for that role… every line is like the crusty old guys on the balcony from the Muppet Show.

Luke Macfarlane is so fcking gorgeous, my God. If he gets a genuinely steamy scene in this I might not be able to handle it.
inbama
He’s sure butched it up since “Brothers & Sisters.”
firebolt87
@inbama I think even on that show his character became more masculine over the years. He started to look noticeably more buff and sport stubble.
bigdandd
Eichner has ALWAYS come off arrogant and nasty on TV appearances. We don’t need another hateful queen being out there stirring up B.S., especially this one. Like some other comments, I will definitely pass on this disaster!
