Leave your thoughts about The Bronze.
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Kathy FennessyThe Bronze is a mutant baby of a movie that shouldn't work as well as it does. |
| Detroit NewsTom Long"The Bronze" is a fiercely independent comedy, sure to be too startling for some, but that's its great promise. This world needs more pistols with this kind of firepower. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottMelissa Rauch is the best low-life character since Billy Bob's Bad Santa. Not for everyone but I couldn't stop laughing. |
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerThe movie's funnier than it has any right to be, given the crudity of its running jokes. But The Bronze becomes more interesting when it quiets down for Greggory's burgeoning friendship with a goofy gym owner played by Silicon Valley's Thomas Middleditch. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneThe script by Melissa Rauch and Winston Rauch is profane, raunchy and dirty-funny... But it's also sweet and warm (under its surface crust). |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyI wouldn't want to live next to Hope, but it is fascinating to watch her. And every so often it's refreshing to have a movie that dares to say - you know, no matter what all the screenwriting gurus tell you, some characters never change. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansYou may know Melissa Rauch as the squeaky-voiced Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory, but that won't prepare you for the ferociously funny performance she gives in the tartly raunchy comedy The Bronze. |
| Bust MagazineErika W. SmithRauch's character could easily be too cutesy, too cruel, or just too annoying if played by another actress. But audiences will love her particular brand of arrested development. |
| Columbus AliveBrad KeefeDark comedy doesn't play with everyone, and the overall tone hops around too much. But did I have a blast watching it? Yup. |
| Globe and MailKate TaylorThe Bronze often feels like an extended skit, but Hope is so refreshingly unladylike and the movie is so refreshingly cynical about gymnastics that the results are surprisingly amusing. |
