Comedian Billy Eichner unveils a softer but no less high-strung version of himself in “Bros,” his new Judd Apatow-produced studio rom-com about two gay men “maybe, possibly, probably, stumbling towards love. Maybe. They’re both very busy.”

To push Bobby out of his comfort zone, "Bros" smartly pairs him with a love interest who’s his match in commitment-phobia but his polar opposite in everything else. For human golden retriever Aaron, staying single isn’t a way to avoid rejection so much as skirt any kind of internal self-reflection. Where Bobby buries his insecurities behind his biting wit, Aaron buries his beneath his CrossFit abs and a pathologically passive "go with the flow" demeanor.

Like this year’s other big, buzzy gay rom-com,"Bros" clearly feels an immense pressure to do right by the LGBTQ+ community as a whole . But it’s hard to be all things to all people.
