Toronto 2022: 'Bros' Review


Judd Apatow often makes (or produces) comedies about smart, somewhat cynical people who need to get over themselves in order to find love. That trend continues with Bros, which follows a sarcastic New Yorker (co-writer Billy Eichner) who lets down his guard when he meets a cute lawyer (Luke Macfarlane). Apatow only produced the film, Nicholas Stoller directed, but you can see the template at work. It doesn't matter when it's this charming, funny and touching. My review is now live.
