Bromates

While this movie has good overall production and actors, the script is too weak to deliver anything but bland scenes we've seen before and humor written by an elderly producer that has "always worked," which of course makes it drum-roll unfunny in 2022. The story is the same as always too, beginning with the Odd Couple scenario, but less funny, moving on to the Bad Boys routine, but tame and mundane, then finally the CW version of character growth ("I realize now I only wanted to be with ____ because I _____") offering nothing new. Even Mr. Dogg's appearance didn't save this trite muck, so I'd definitely avoid this movie if you have a life.

Put "Natioan Lampoon's" in front of this title and you get the idea wht level the humor has sunk to in this film.

It's quite simply HORRIBLE.

Strangely, the acting and cast are pretty good. I had no problems with the directing either.

The problem is the script. It stinks. The writing is below 8th grade level. Way below. I cant even say it's sophormoric. It's lower than that.

I don't think even 12 year olds will find this humor funny.

Not really sure how a flick this horrendous gets backing to be made. I mean anyone who read the scrit had to know i was a complete stinker. They HAD to.

And what did they pay Snoop Dog to be in this?

From the music score and also comedic level of entertaining our entrusting moments of heart. This really reminded me that we can still bring comedy to so many things. For example picking on each character with ought being rude or predictable. I'm gay. The gay character happening to be hilarious but not in the form of a straight predominately male movie. All of it was hilarious. I enjoyed every bit. Mr. Lil Rell was amazing. The main actor held his so well. The entire cast was so damn good. I really enjoyed this!! I will also say it has a message of. How to get over someone. But the bigger message is how to have close friends around you no matter where they come from. Just embrace the support system you have. It's important.

What happens when you get a gay guy, a black guy, a brown guy and a typical millennial beta wimp all together (no really, this wishful diversity party actually exists in Hollywood and precisely nowhere else in the world) and make a movie based on stereotypes with no real evident talent in the writing, character or plot department.

In fairness, the black guy is quite funny on occasion but clearly he only gets work because Kevin Hart is too expensive these days.

So we are left with a gross out comedy in the style of the Farrelly brothers, but without the talent.

Today's review was brought to you by the word : implausible.

Pushover Sid (Josh Brener) gets dumped by his social influencer girlfriend. His friend Jonesie (Lil Rel Howery) invites him to be roommates, or more than roommates. He wants them to be Bromates.

In theory, these two comedic actors should fit well together. One is a weak pushover and the other is an outrageous adventurer. Lil Rel is a matter of taste and I don't always like his characters. This one is more unlike than like. I don't really understand all the hot ladies going for Sid. I don't care about the other two friends although the gay one is almost funny. This should have been Harold and Kumar if the two leads would go on a meaningless adventure.
