If you want to know what the "meme" was that I knew Billy Eichner from, it's from a bit of this TruTV show episode:
Apart from that, I can't remember to have seen anything he starred in, except in the AppleTV+ series "Dickinson", where he played a small part as poet Walt Whitman. For "Bros", a major studio romantic comedy featuring a homosexual (male) couple, he teamed up with Nicholas Stoller (director of #0703 "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", co-author of #0890 "The Muppets"), who co-wrote the script with Eichner and directed the film. His co-lead is Luke Macfarlane, who previoulsly starred in a boatload of Christmas- and Holiday-themed Hallmark romcom, which were mocked in this comedy.
Here's the trailer for "Bros":
And how did you like this film which followed the traditions of heterosexual romcoms (and even played bits from #0223 "You've got mail"), but put a gay twist on it, and didn't hold back with its jokes about the LGBTQI+ community either? Please let us know in a reply to this posting.
). Schauspielerisch blieb Luke Macfarlane hier für mich etwas blasser und tendierte zuweilen etwas in Richtung von Sitcom-Klischees, aber Billy Eichner hat mich positiv überrascht, da er sowohl die schrofferen als auch die verletzlicheren Seiten seiner Figur gut herübergebracht hat.
