'I think maybe asking some of our straight friends to watch a gay couple fall in love and cry and laugh and take something from it, too. I think that’s what movies are all about...seeing how we relate to somebody who’s maybe different than us,” he says.
Romantic comedy fans who have been craving a new addition to the canon that breaks the heteronormative mold will see their wish come true this month with “Bros,” the first gay rom-com to premiere by a major studio.
Eichner plays his typical self-deprecating, cynical protagonist, a podcast host named Bobby who has pretty much given up on finding anyone tolerable to date. That’s when he meets the gorgeous and seemingly perfect Aaron .The film, which is being released by Universal Pictures, is also the first major studio film to have an entirely LGBTQ principal cast, featuring names like Ts Madison, Monica Raymund, Guillermo Díaz and others.
“Our goal was to just write a hilarious movie,” he said. “Our goal was to get people to the theater and give them a really good time and a reason to laugh out loud with their friends.” “Gay comedians like me, we haven’t had a real chance to tell our stories like this in a big way, on the big screen,” he said. “I wanted it to be personal, and it’s all about being vulnerable and telling an honest story.”
