This has been a busy week, my birthday week is always sooooooo busy but this one hasnt even had a second to recharge at all. So much so that i seriously thought about not going to the cinema tonight to have some time at home, but then i thought no Cinema is my other Home & if i dont see this film today i miss my chance to, so lets go see the Rom Com Bros.
There was me, three couples & a group of 5 at the cinema for the 7:50 showing. All millennials. Everyone just being very chill.
Now before we get to the trailers, i want to ask anyone else whos seen Bros in the UK. Did you get all the adverts before the film that were LGBTQ+ related & as to why they made the film? We did. I mean my cinema is the LGBTQ+ Capital of the UK & we are all very proud of that be it we are members of the community or Ally’s. We all actually cheered. I love that this was a thing.
Trailers… no Oppenheimer (WTAF) Black Panther Wakanda Forever (yes) Bones & All (yes) & She Said (yes) only 3 very odd, but hey the film got going sooner.
& then the film started… awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it was lovely, it was adorable.
It was very cliché’ romcom which i was completely expecting, but the fact that it all just perfectly worked like any other romcom felt right. At no point did anything feel out of place.
I cried. I know i shouldnt have cried but i did. Theres a part during act 3 & its the most stupid romcom trope of them all but nah there i sat blubbing my eyes out & something so simple & lovely. It was beautiful & i cried through every second of it. I know i shouldnt have fallen for it but i did.
I loved how it showed the perils of modern dating & social media & our needs. It got that pretty spot on & how weird that world is. As much as i sit here & go i have a brilliant social media family (ha was there a reason i had a writing block so i had to put that on here today of all days) the world of online dating & being catfished isnt nice (if your a catfish we will come find you & stop you why do you do it why? it wastes everyone time what do you get from it?).
It felt very personal at times like i was intruding on certain part of their lives, but i think that made it feel more real & relatable. It was gut wrenching watching people get pulled around & having there feeling be torn apart. Im glad it had the guts to go there. That is what happens in real life too.
That museum was brilliant. From the table meetings to the planning, to the end product, absolutely amazing & fantastic. & was so cleverly done. I learnt so much from them about what they all feel each part of the LGBTQ+ community does in a fun & also powerful way. I loved it so much.
It was so cleverly written & was so funny. I loved it. It was subtle & also so out there with its jokes. & it got the balance spot on, between being a laughter track to actually telling an important story of acceptance, which is for everyone not just that community.
The club scene… hahaha… i mean i though us girls had issues with creeps in the club. But if im honest the 3 times ive been to our gay club (the best club ever) have been some of the best nights of my life & also the safest ive ever felt too. To the person i had a full on life chat with in the toilet of revenge about 6 years ago i hope your good & i hope your they friend wasnt a complete twat & sorted themselves out & lived happily ever after (ish). I had never met this person until i went to the toilet that night & havent seen them since they got in their taxi, but that was a cool night. Oh god ive digressed.
The whole thing was just super sweet & funny & exactly what i needed on a thursday night after my busy week. Im glad i didnt sack this off & did go because as much as i cried it put me in a super happy chill place, after one hell of a thursday. Its well worth a watch to put you in a good mood peoples.
