Gosh, Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre creator Jared Hess is back and delving even deeper into the murky underworld of geekdom. A young fantasy nerd - played by rising star Michael Angarano (The Forbidden Kingdom) - has his idea for a book called Yeast Lords ripped off by a flamboyant established novelist called Ronald Chevalier, played by awesome Flight Of The Conchords/Eagle Vs Shark man Jemaine Clement.
Sam Rockwell also stars, as the main character of the book in question, and if the film delivers on the promise of its almost disturbingly funny marketing campaign - see Ronald Chevalier's website - then it could be a quote-worthy cult classic to rival Napoleon.
I'm sorry, but I thought after watching the trailer that this would be great, sort've like napolean dynomite. However it was well and truely not. It found everyway not to be funny, and my friend and I left wishing we had the past 2 hours of our lives back. It was unforutnately the worst movie I have ever seen, and my friend completely agreed.
Jemaine C had wonderful acting timing,some amazing scenes in this movie. Only a few laughs, there is no way you will ever forget the snake and vomit scenes.
My friends and I absolutely loved this! As soon as Jermaine opens his mouth you can't help laughing
Loved it. Definately won't forget the vomit part! Gross!! Soooo funny though yet EXTREMLY random, which is probably why i loved it. :] Great movie. 4 stars..
I went and saw Gentleman Broncos because it stared Jemaine Clement. I though it was trying to be funny and didn't quite hit the mark. I can see how for some its going to become a cult classic, but not for me. Worth a watch.
The director, Jared Hess, who made "Napoleon Dynamite," a film I admit I didn't get, has made a film I don't even begin to get.
A slight return from Napoleon Dynamite's creators.
Has little to offer besides unrelenting strangeness.
Satire aside, what the oddball folks here never feel is real, despite the filmmakers' claims of autobiographical parallels.
Timing, good jokes and characters you can laugh with and at are mostly missing from Gentlemen Broncos.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Thursday, 13th May 2010.
