Gentlemen broncos is one of those predictable, run-of-the-mill stories you always see about intergalactic yeast Lords, gonad napping, rocket propelled attack stags, blow gun darts dipped in dog poop, Cyclops henchmen, vomit-flecked first kisses and python poop. Why can't Hollywood ever come up with anything original? And why can't there be a sarcasm font?
This movie is pure, exuberant mayhem. It taps into the bizarre, probably drug-fueled science fiction work of the 70s and 80s with their crazy covers and prog-rock inspired plots, and maintains two stories within a story, complete with dueling movies. Along the way, it examines young love, life in a really small town, home schooling, the creative process, pompous authors and more.
I saw a clip of it in The New Yorker iPad app and was hooked. Jennifer Coolidge is amazing, and so is the lead, Michael Angarano. There's no way around it, Gentlemen Broncos is a bizarre and crazed movie, but well worth watching. If you disagree, you can, in the words of Bronco, "eat the corn out of my crap."
