The barfing and poo were a bit much, but there are still some great scenes to be found in this over-the-top weirdfest; especially the 'power of the suffix' speech, lmao.

Hess attempts to relive the offbeat charm of his debut, "Napoleon Dynamite," but it's stilted and forced with the opening credits being by far the best part.

Missing the subtle charm that came with 'Napoleon Dynamite' the film still manages to capture that Utah small mormon town feel with all of its oddities. Honestly the offbeat aesthetic makes Broncos possibly worth the watch but I'm not sure of that.. It just feels like it tried to be too much like 'Napoleon Dynamite' instead of its own film.

Once the opening credits are over, go ahead and turn the movie off.

Jared Hess should stick to opening credits AND NOTHING ELSE. 1 point for Sam Rockwell being Sam Rockwell.

A very hard movie for me to rate. I really liked the premise and idea of the story, I loved both Rockwell and Clement in their roles and I liked the charm Angarano brought to his character. Unfortunately all the great things about this film are dragged down by some simply awful things: vomit/crap jokes, Hector Jimenez's character as a whole, way too much stuff that doesn't fit the movie that is just odd for the sake of being odd. I think it's Hess's best, but that's not really saying much.

Quite probably the best opening credits I have ever seen in any film. And Michael Angarano has buckets of charm and hopefully rises above this career-wise, as the rest of the film is junk.

Funny oddness has become Hess' gimmick and for that this will probably be the last movie of his I will see for a while. I didn't enjoy many parts of this and the few smirks I let out didn't go very far. Clement got this movie 50 bonus points from myself being a huge FOTC fan.

This is personal filmmaking, surveying the private emotions that generally embarrass people or make us feel out of step -- a daring proposition in an era that frantically insists upon marketable conformity.

If there's some way you can just watch the fantasy sequences, Jemaine Clement, and Hector Jimenez's crazy mouth, go for it.

Bizarre. I had higher hopes but this is pretty incoherent at times. A couple of funny visuals do not save the film.

Very Awkward from start to finish, there really is not a moment that is not filled with awkward tension. Very well done, it gives a few deep laughs, but it does tell a story behind all the awkwardness. Very good story, deepened with the light hearted atmosphere presented.

And that 20 is earned entirely by Jemaine Clement, who did nothing wrong except sign on for a horrible, horrible movie.

Not stunning, weak plot with too much conveniences. Fantastic cast, unfortunately not enough to make the film. Its quirkiness got in its own way, I fear.

Gentlemen Broncos is proudly weird and darkly comic, similar to inland-hell films like Napolean Dynamite, existing in a world trapped culturally in the leftover relics on past decades. Writer/Director Jared Hess has a good knack for illustrating the small, misguided dreams of America's misbegotten with a sense of optimism. Plenty of black humor in the weird as hell people on display that somehow makes even the lowest characters sympathetic.

I really would have found this way more funny if it had Broncanous in it the entire time. Sam Rockwell is pretty much amazing in it and quotable, "Cyclops there! Cyclops there!"
