Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

cricketbat There comes a point where the bizarre stops being funny and becomes simply bizarre. Gentlemen Broncos crosses that line. The trailer is hilarious, but the movie is just a series of weird people, strange costumes and, for lack of a better word, potty humor. Skip this movie, it's too random to be funny.

zardoz-13 Jared Hess and wife/producer Jerusha are truly mad geniuses! Hess's third movie after "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Nacho Libre," Gentlemen Broncos" qualifies as insanely hilarious. The challenge of dramatizing the subject of plagiarism would be considerable for anybody, but the Hess's have done an imaginative job of adapting it as an absurdist comedy of errors between two goofy sci-fi writers. Indeed, this trim 90-minute epic possesses an obvious high camp quality in its outlandish depiction of science fiction. Believe me, the narrative in the crazy sci-fi scenes is abysmal, so horribly bad that is emerges as funny. A popular sci-fi author of significant renown, Ronald Chevalier (Jemaine Clement of "HBO's Flight of the Conchords"), has lost his touch. Chevalier's publisher threatens to stop publishing him. At the Cletus Writers Camp, Chevalier plagiarizes a high school student's infantile but original manuscript that he got at a writers camp where he served as the chief spokesman. "Gentlemen Broncos" alternates the scenes of the conniving Chevalier touting his art and our high school protagonist, Benjamin (Michael Angarano of "Empire State"), with their versions of "Yeast Wars." These scenes are entertaining nonsense that resembles something out of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." The scene when Chevalier tries to bribe Benjamin at a book signing convention is memorable. When Hess isn't pitting Chevalier against Benjamin, he treats us to sensitive scenes of Benjamin and his deluded mother, Judith (Jennifer Coolidge of "American Pie"), who has dreams of selling a line of women's night garments. A subplot involving a possible romance interest for Benjamin and a wacky filmmaker, perhaps not unlike Hess, is amusing, too. Beware of the lowest-common denominator bowel humor especially projectile vomiting. "Gentleman Broncos" is not for everybody.

thesar-2 This film is a crime. And EVERY SINGLE ONE of those involved in the production should be arrested as accessories for not even attempting to halt production from day one.This absolute train wreck, this abomination, will make you question that other list of movies you've seen and said "That was the worst movie I've ever seen!" You ain't seen nothing until you've seen Gentlemen Broncos.The movie is painful, sad and disgusting – and I'm not even referring to the obvious efforts to gross us out, like kissing and swallowing someone else's puke. What makes this movie stand out from other disasters, like The Room, was the fact it was, unbelievably, competently shot. These buffoons should've known better.And ironically, the dreadful movie/book/fantasies within this movie, which keep getting praised by the characters are not as bad as the actual movie as a whole. Oh, sure, the "Yeast Infection" book the film revolves around and its (100-feet below any of the MST3k short's standards) fantasy shots are obviously inept and enormously miss the comedic mark, and still…they're a welcome distraction for the terrifying sight of the rest of the film.From the appalling dialogue to the endless misfires they want you to believe is comedy to the absolutely repulsive secondary characters – what was with Large-Mouthed Lonnie? I'd rather stare at feces longer – this movie had utterly nothing going for it. The slight and only bright spot was actor Michael Angarano. He screamed BETTER than this, but sadly, he couldn't elevate one speck of this catastrophe.The plot's all over the place, but suffice to say: Teenager writes a horrendous and yet "highly praised" story that appeared to be written by someone 10-15 years younger, and one failing famous writer steals it, while Large-Mouth butchers it for a cheap production. The poster's tagline is "From the director of…Napoleon Dynamite" and from the looks of it, this story could have, in fact, come from the mind of that Napoleon character, albeit on his worst day of creativity.Oh, there's a more… sadly a lot more going on including 1/100th the production value of the worst of the Star Trek episodes from the 1960s, but nothing that equates a SEE IT because of that character or that scene. Even the great music was out of place – and Cher, you should be ashamed of yourself!On a side note, karma really sucks. I must really have p*ssed off my friend – you know who you are! – who "recommended" this to me. I'm inches from purchasing a plane ticket for two states over, taking a taxi to his residence and upon him answering the door – he'll get a slap across the face. That's it. No words. Following the deserved attack, I'll just turn around and head back to the airport.

robotbling (www.plasticpals.com) Director Jared Hess' Gentlemen Broncos is an absurd coming of age comedy that manages to be even stranger than his more well-known breakout hit, Napolean Dynamite. This film takes its inspiration from bad fantasy and sci-fi novels which seemed so abundant in the '70s and '80s. Imagine innumerable paperbacks about burly men in tights, buxom space women in distress, and awesomely bad alien monsters, all of them covered in cookie-cutter artwork inspired by the legendary Frank Frazetta. The film focuses on Benjamin, played with earnest by Michael Angarano, a teenager who dreams of seeing his own stories share that shelf space.Ben attends a writer's workshop where his idol, the eccentric Dr. Ronald Chevalier, gives a hilarious lecture about sci-fi naming conventions. Chevalier's leather get-up and Star Trek-inspired ear-thing are only the icing on the cake of a performance by Jemaine Clement. Ben decides to enter his story, Yeast Lords: The Bronco Years, into Chevalier's contest in the hopes of winning a coveted original cover artwork. With his publishing deal holding on by a thread, Chevalier privately decides to steal Ben's idea, although he adapts it to his own style. This is where the movie gets its more ridiculous scenes. The embarrassingly bad story of Yeast Lords is told in snippets through outtakes from the inevitable big budget movie adaptations – both from Ben's original story and Chevalier's tweaked rewrite – starring Sam Rockwell in the lead role.Meanwhile Ben gets encouragement from Tabatha, a budding romance novelist and film maker he meets at the workshop, to film a low budget home movie version of his story. Once again we see clips of Yeast Lords as told through Tabatha's scriptment. The supporting cast, including Ben's mother, are all a little freaky but vaguely familiar. Eventually Chevalier finally publishes the plagiarized story, and the crap hits the fan when Ben realizes what's up.Like Napolean Dynamite, I'm not convinced Gentlemen Broncos will hold up to repeat viewings, but these oddball Americana slice-of-life movies are possibly worth checking out at least once if you're willing to go there. One can't help but feel that the story would have been better served if Ben had been an aspiring comic book artist or film maker. I liked it OK but the film was a total commercial and critical failure, making it hard to recommend regardless of what I personally thought of it. You have to be in the mood to watch a movie with several scenes that are deliberately bad for comedic effect.
