A legendary novelist steals a story idea from a teenage loner (Michael Angarano) and, subsequently, makes it into a disastrous movie.

Critics Consensus

Unselfconsciously juvenile and overwhelmingly quirky, Gentlemen Broncos offers a lot of potty humor but isn't terribly funny.

Hess blends local color with celestial inspiration to create a forthright and original religious vision.

Rockwell is the film's only consistently amusing presence.

I may be one of the few that loved this movie, but it was a blast, and I don't have any fear saying that.

2/4

Classic underdog vs smug establishment stuff, you might think. But it's all played out in puke-slathered anti-comedy sketches better suited to no-budget YouTube videos than a multimillion-dollar film.

1/5

This deliberately amateurish, self-indulgent effort manages to be odd while rarely remembering to be funny.

I absolutely love this movie. Itâ(TM)s very weird and awkward...very quotable!

One of those slyly brilliant films which requires multiple viewings in order to unpack the subtext.

Pretty funny. A good, subdued plot with likable characters.

This movie is definitely odd, at some points obnoxiously so, I can see how some may find it confused. But beyond the snake poop jokes lies some very clever comedy, and a meaningful and gripping plot. This movie, as most Hess movies do, does a fantastic job juggling absurd humor with a story that could honesty make its own non-comedic drama.
