"Gay sex was more fun when straight people were uncomfortable with it."

The kicker laugh line in the trailer for "Bros":

 

Well, good news: Apparently, straight people are still uncomfortable with gay sex, because just about nobody wants to see this film. Has there every been a more highly praised movie that's been this big of a flop? 

Look it's got a 90% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 91% audience score. Critics said stuff like: "Funny and warm, the gay love story lives up to the swooning standard of When Harry Met Sally and Notting Hill" and "Step aside, Hugh Grant and Diane Keaton, the pantheon of great, neurotic rom-com leads has found a new king in Billy Eichner."

It opened in 3,350 locations and only made $4.8 million over the weekend.

Now, there's a lot of discussion about whether the non-success of the movie should be attributed to "homophobia." 

I'm  going to read this at Variety: "Why Did Billy Eichner’s ‘Bros’ Bomb at the Box Office? Straight People Aren’t Entirely to Blame." 

But first, I'll just say that I think the problem is that the reviews are selling it as a rom-com, which invites you to see it because you'll identify with a character and feel closer to a person you're with or will feel nourished in your dream of love. You could say this isn't for me simply because you're not a gay man. That's not hating gay men. It's just not feeling like one.

From the trailer, it seems more like a satire of various kinds of people in the LGBTQ community. Who's up for that? It's not homophobic to decide not to seek entertainment in the form of making fun of LGBTQ people. 

So who is the audience supposed to be — other than gay men and those who want to laugh at the LGBTQ community? Are people supposed to see movies because they get excellent reviews? But the reviews aren't saying this is a great work of cinematic art that cultured people must see. They're just saying it's effective as a rom-com. But you choose your rom-com — don't you? — based on whether it resonates with your own personal romantic feelings.

Now, I'm reading the Variety piece. It says with rom-coms, what matters is "star power." Variety says a movie like Julia Roberts and George Clooney's “Ticket to Paradise” can open big in theaters, but "Bros" should have gone right to streaming. Build interest from there.

The studio spent a lot of money pushing "Bros" as "historic." "Historic" — such an overused word. Supposedly it's "the first major LGBTQ studio comedy." Is it? Who really cares? It's supposed to be great fun but this makes it "feel like homework." 

Notice how you can get to "historic" just by adding elements. Here, it's not just LGBTQ. It's also "studio." But the movie was made for $10 million. It's very hard to see what's special.

And now they're insulting us for being "homophobic" if we don't feel like going. That's not much fun.
