Red-Band Trailer for the Vulgar Gymnastics Comedy THE BRONZE
A red-band trailer has been released for the whacked out, vulgar gymnastics comedy The Bronze. This was the opening film at The Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it was met with mixed reviews. There were parts of it that I liked, but for the most part, I just found the main character annoying as hell. The movie stars Melissa Rauch, Gary Cole, and Sebastian Stan. This is the synopsis:
In 2004, Hope Ann Greggory became an American hero after winning the bronze medal for the women’s gymnastics team. Today, she’s still living in her small hometown, washed-up and embittered. Stuck in the past, Hope must reassess her life when a promising young gymnast threatens her local celebrity status.
The movie isn't for everyone. I'm sure some people might enjoy it more than I did. That main character in the film was like nails on a chalkboard for me. If that's what they were going for, the filmmakers succeeded! This is a small excerpt from my review where I go off on the character:
"Had they toned back the over-the-top portrayal of this disgustingly vulgar and spoiled brat, it would have been easier to watch. But from the get-go, I hated this character, and even though throughout the film she becomes a better person, I didn't care because of how much of a bitch she was at the beginning. At one point, her own dad, played by Gary Cole, calls her a bitch, and you just want to give the guy a high five for finally not taking her crap anymore."
The Bronze opens in theaters March 11th, 2016. The trailer is NSFW and contains a few F-bombs.
