  Not sure if I threw up because I’m still hungover from NYE or because I was crying so hard I couldn’t catch my breath.

  My guess is the latter, but honestly it’s probably a combination of both.

  Review by Kevflix And Chill ★★★½ 3

  This is one of those films that’s genetically engineered specifically to make you cry. My wife even said on the way to the theater, “I can’t wait to cry.”  It’s safe to say that this film delivers on that promise. Most of our audience was sniveling by the end. It’s a tender but fairly predictable romance carried by the strong performances from Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge. Sally Field was refreshingly reserved. It would have been easy for her to have a grandiose emotionally moving scene somewhere near the ending. I was practically expecting it. But instead focus was thankfully kept on Michael and Kit.  A moving love story and a really smurfin good film.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★

  One of the more memorable episodes of Michael Ausiello’s 2017 memoir finds the television journalist (and obsessive) visiting the Brooklyn set of “The Americans” on the same afternoon his longtime boyfriend, photographer Kit Cowan, sees a colorectal specialist about the severe pain he was experiencing. Mere seconds before sitting down for a chat with stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, Ausiello receives a text informing him that Cowan’s doctor has found a growth; already traumatized by watching his mother die from cancer when he was a child, Ausiello jumps to the worst possible conclusion.

  Time would tragically justify such catastrophizing (Ausiello’s book is called “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies”), but for the moment, he can only sit through an interview…

  I feel like a whole mess after this. It really hit hard in the feels. So sweet and adorable. Great performances from its leads. Jim Parsons was so good and such a standout. He really is a talented actor. Enjoyed it a lot.

  Why did the movie where Jim Parsons gives a handjob make me cry?

  Cried with 100 gay men in the theater while the macho security guy in the back sobbed the loudest

  i most definitely was not offered free tickets by a man in target to this test screening and i certainly have nothing to say about it except an ominous star rating because i signed an NDA

  Review by Lynn Betts ★★★★★ 22

  Jim Parsons in a voiceover as Michael Ausiello says that this may not be a love story with a happy ending, but it is a “real” love story.

  When I watched BROS earlier this year, I thought it was great because it matched some of the stories and lingo I heard from my gay friends, and I thought their lives and loves obviously warrant a wide release treatment. However, many straight people did not attend because they couldn’t relate... and many gay men didn’t like it for that very same reason - that wasn’t their experience at all. Others complained it wasn’t gay enough. Although I enjoyed it as a rom-com, along with an audience filled with the community at…

  Well fuck me 

  I thought this was a dramedy not a full on emotional ride 

  That’s what I get for not watching a trailer or reading anything about the movie lol 

  Great film 
  I cried 
  I laughed 
  I loved how rooted in realism it was and how relatable it was 

  Jim Parsons performance though? Great he can truly lead a movie

  Review by 📀 Cammmalot 📀 ★★★½

  Love means never having to say your Smurfs are gaudy.

  Sweet, honest and genuine... but sadder than a roomful of ‘Pianists’ downing a ‘Grave of the Fireflies’ with a ‘Marley & Me’ chaser.

  ”I’ll just shut up now”

  Review by B E R T ★★★★

  Alright, gonna go cry for the rest of the night now. This movie was beautiful, really quite beautiful, it combined the sadness and humourous so well, it made me laugh as much as it broke my heart. The chemistry between Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge was so authentic, and the movie is as good as it is thanks to how great they are together. A very nicely made and acted film, didn’t disappoint at all.

  Bonus points because on their first date he played Supernature by Goldfrapp, one of the best albums EVER!!
