Gentlemen Broncos: DVD Review
Gentlemen Broncos
Rating: M
Released by Roadshow Home Entertainment
So the director of Napoleon Dynamite returns with this film.
Set in mid town America, Michael Angarano stars as
aspiring sci fi teen author, Benjamin Purvis, home schooled and naïve in the
ways of the world. Sent to a writers' camp, Purvis meets his hero, esteemed sci
fi author Ronald Chevalier (FOTC's Jemaine Clement) and enters his manuscript
(the terribly titled Yeast Lords) into a competition to win a deal.
However, Chevalier is struggling to find inspiration
for his next book - and so, inspired by Purvis' Yeast Lords, he promptly
plaigarises the whole thing.
But at the same time,
Benjamin's sold the story to some local (terrible) film-makers and when their
movie comes out, a creative showdown's on the way.
Gentlemen
Broncos goes for quirky and ends up with severely irritating - it's only thanks
to the performances of Jemaine Clement and Sam Rockwell that I carried on to the
bitter end of this. I can see what the writer and director were trying for but
the whole puerile tone stops it ever getting off the ground.
Extras: Deleted scenes, outtakes and doco behind the
scenes
Rating: 3/10
