Gentlemen Broncos (2009) Reviews
One of 2009's Most Underrated Comedies
For some reason I managed to miss the reviews for Jared Hess' "Gentlemen Broncos" when it first opened in limited release. I saw the trailer for it some time ago, and was excited for it; "Napoleon Dynamite" and even Hess' follow-up "Nacho Libre" were two of the most off-kilter, refreshing comedies I've seen in the past decade. "Broncos" is absolutely no exception, expanding on and arguably perfecting the "geekverse" that Hess started with "Napoleon." This third film in the "Crayola Trilogy" may be so well designed for sci-fi geeks and lovers of Hess' first two movies, that it simply had no way to possibly survive in the mainstream market. Me? I loved it. Not seeing any reviews beforehand, I was expecting a film that hit the same high notes of "Napoleon," and for me, I got them. I am also a sci-fi nut, and I like my comedies full of bizarre and strangely real people- this, Hess excels in, as well. I went to bed last night rating it a "10" on IMDb; I was shocked to see the rating at a mere "5.5/ 10." Flip over to Rotten Tomatoes; it's a "Rotten" at 16%. I also find it worth noting that neither of Hess' previous releases have been treated on IMDb much better--- I seem to remember a time when "ND" was in the Top 250, or at the very least had a much higher rating than it does today (6.9). I recall "ND" being hailed as a cult classic, only to see its popularity seemingly cripple later opinions of the film (regardless of the fact it started very small). Anyway. I'm just saying I think Jared Hess' work has been roundly ignored for being truly great cinema. I can see why "Gentlemen Broncos" has not enjoyed the success of "ND"--- it is a truly far-out film, that only "nuts" such as myself are likely to enjoy; I spent my youth much like the lead character writing short stories and dreaming up far-off worlds--- for kids like that, and their adult counterparts, I can only say "See This Film." You won't regret it.
430th Review: Utterly bizarrely ordinary and surreal - so off the wall it's wallpaperly delicious
You will know within 2 minutes of watching this if you can watch all of it or not - it is anti-Hollywood, just about anti-indie, a brilliant take on boredom, eccentricity, makes unoriginality into hyper-originality and is generally like a 1930s freak show with a side order of banal. Seriously weird, and yet oddly familiar, the psychodramas and models of parenting and the wakwardness of friendships are all twisted in a maelstrom of ideas that just keep on coming. Every character is explored not for character but for something odd, find the oddness, in the face, the mannerisms etc; and its in their eccentricities that you find the story. However, behind all of the strangeness, there is consummate skill: the actors are all just on the line between satire and buffoonery and it all works brilliantly. This is a truly strange, odd, little film with Sci-Fi roots and strange strange buds. All I can say is plunge in - it is one of the stranger films out there - yet it has heart and humor, and many will recognize the nerdcore COS world it inhabits all too well - if off the wall is your cup of tea you can rest assured you have found the right stop...weirdly brilliant....
Instant cult classic
So, I completely understand why people do not like this movie. It can be gross, confusing, and just plain stupid at times. With that said, it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Jemaine Clement and Sam Rockwell fell into the roles of some of the funniest characters I have ever seen. There are some lines when both in and out of context made me laugh so hard I cried. This movie is not for everyone, I think people who like both napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre will find some enjoyment out of this(which I don't). More importantly, I think people looking for some sci-fi fantasy literature satire will get a kick out of this, because both the dialog with the "Authors" and all the excerpts from the two books had my laughing out loud constantly.
Brilliant satire on the pulp sci fi book industry
This is an alt very indie feel movie, with extreme silliness as it's major plot line. The movie pokes gentle fun at pulp sci fi authors and books, with lots of hilarious scenes having the actors depict characters in the main sci fi stories. The Space Harpie Vixen Women, with laser-shooting tits, are probably the best, and a close second would be the jet powered stuffed deer stag mounts. I say those things so you have an idea where this movie is going. If you read the above and said, "Oh well, Space Harpie Vixens with laser titties, well that's just SILLY! HARRUMMMPHHH!!!!" then this is not the movie for you. If, however, you find yourself wondering, "Space Vixen Harpie Women with laser breasts.... hmmmmm, intriguing, one wonders, how do these Space-Going Amazons possibly breast feed their gentle young?" Then THIS is the movie for you, for THEY ANSWER THAT in the movie. This is NOT a movie like Battlefield Earth. That movie was a total flying cowpie disaster engineered by a nutball LRon Hubbard. This movie is poking fun at itself, it does NOT take itself seriously, as B.E. did, being the holy secret of the Scientology religion and all I guess it had to... no this movie is poking fun of horrendously bad sci fi authors LIKE LRon Hubbard. The acting is so incredibly bad it is BRILLIANT and Oscar WORTHY. The sets are so impossibly poorly made THEY ARE INCREDULOUS. The special effects are so ineptly cringe-worthy THEY ARE STUPENDOUS. YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE. The fate of the Yeast Slaves Depends on it!
Absurdist Hilarity at its Zenith!!!
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.
