- The team behind BROS in conversation with TIFF in advance of its premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. This insightful rom-com about a witty, cynical podcaster navigating romance with an earnest, handsome lawyer is a pitch-perfect portrait of queer New York in all its variety.
The 47th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8 to 18, 2022. For more, visit tiff.net.
Part satire, part rom-com - brilliantly disguised as anti-rom-com - Bros is outrageous, insightful, and celebratory. This inspired collaboration between director and co-writer Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and co-writer and star Billy Eichner (Funny or Die’s Billy on the Street) is a laugh-out-loud good time that strides its way into even the most cynical heart. Born and bred in New York City, Bobby Leiber (Eichner) is a beloved podcast host, a self-appointed authority on contemporary queer culture with a merciless, irresistible wit. When speaking about his romantic life, Bobby prides himself on being unsentimental, emotionally unavailable, and interested exclusively in uncomplicated hookups. “Love is not love,” Bobby declares. “Gay men are different.” Enter Aaron (Luke Macfarlane). With his boy-next-door good looks, small-town origins, and dreary profession - he’s a lawyer specializing in wills and estates - Aaron is frequently written off as mere man-candy. But when Bobby and Aaron meet, despite their myriad differences, each senses a spark beyond lust. They tentatively tiptoe into something like coupledom, an enterprise that generates big emotions and deep insecurities in both. Bros pays loving tribute to the wild diversity within LGBTQ+ culture - Bobby is part of the committee overseeing New York’s first LGBTQ+ history museum - while simultaneously lampooning the dizzying minutiae of modern identity politics. Pop-culture savvy, briskly paced, sexy, sweet, and smart, Bros is a reminder that, no matter how self-assured you might be, there’s always the chance that someone else might see a better you.
Nicholas Stoller was born in London and grew up in Miami. He attended Harvard, where he wrote for the Lampoon, and later wrote for Strangers with Candy (00) and Judd Apatow’s Undeclared (01-02). His films as director include Forgetting Sarah Marshall (08), Get Him to the Greek (10), The Five-Year Engagement (12), Bad Neighbors (14), and Storks (16). He co-created, directed, and co-wrote the TV series Platonic (22). Bros (22) is his latest feature. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I just saw Bros, and it is truly WONDERFUL!!! I laughed, I cried, just as you do with all the best romcoms. And this one is right at the top of the list. Everyone's at the top of their form. Most importantly, it's so true in so many different ways. IMO, it speaks to all our hearts, be we gay OR straight. I'll be seeing it repeatedly as long as it stays in theaters. Then I'll get it on home video to watch again and again. Wish I could thank you all in person. Hope my support at the theater makes do.
I have seen it twice in two days! Literally SO good!
Mature gay MAN who spent years in the closet finds so much similar to my own experiences. Saw BROS multiple times in theaters and will buy DVD when available. Laughed and shed a few tears. Great cast and story. Long overdue groundbreaker, especially relevant NOW that human rights are on the line once again. Thanks to everyone involved in BROS, especially UNIVERSAL for having the BALLS to make BROS. Hope 🙏 BROS cleans up BIG time at awards season. 🏆. 🏳️🌈 LOL, 😎.
Billy is Amazing and Extraordinary.
A Great Leading Man.
He is Very Charismatic.
I Loved Bros.

Great movie! Get off your couch watching straight romances and get to the theater and watch BROS! Much more relatable!
Can’t wait to see this
Hey, if you haven't seen BROS, you NEED to! Then you'll find out WHAT'S UP 😉! 🏆 As Anne said this IS history everyone needs to know. Maybe it 🤔 could promote better acceptance and understanding. LOL to ALL, gay, straight, or whatever 🤣!
MISS T S MADISON !
He can blame the gay community for not showing up, he made the movie exclusively for them but gets mad when "straight men" don't show up... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣😂🤣😂 you can't make this stuff up lol
The cheering at the introduction for this panel was like a coming out party that the world doesn't deserve, but needed.
Is this a film sponsered by the psychopats from World Economic Forum? This fim is insulting nature. 🤑😝😜
