Gentleman Broncos

by Adrienne Van Houten on October 30, 2009

gentleman broncos I had reservations about going to see this, but when the opportunity arose, I figured what the heck.

As it is from the same people as Napoleon Dynomite and I really enjoyed that, I thought, Meh it can’t be too bad.  I was wrong.  But I also think I was the only person in the theater that felt that way.

The pace and story type is along the same lines as Napoleon, drab midwestern teenager, trying to find his way in the world.  Idolizing an author, only to have that author steal his work.  Could be a good movie, except for the story that was stolen was a throwback to cheesy 50′s sci fi and it was dispersed throughout the film A LOT.  I don’t like much sci fi at all and I really don’t like cheesy sci fi.

Another way that Napoleon was “referenced” was in a character called Lonnie that I suppose was to be the “Pedro” of the film.  The character was beyond over the top and at times hard to watch.

Speaking of hard to watch, there were multiple gratuitous projectile vomiting scenes that were totally unnecessary.

I wouldn’t even recommend renting this.
