Reviews: Luke Macfarlane in Bros

 *The post contains the opinions of Rotten Tomatoes certified Top Critics.*

"Eichner and Macfarlane’s sideways chemistry offers plenty to swoon over as they stroll and chat in a graciously filmed Manhattan and, for a brief but no doubt expensive jaunt, Provincetown." (Vanity Fair)

"The duo’s yin-yang chemistry is never wholly believable, this despite Macfarlane’s charmingly low-key performance as a juicehead who’s attracted to Bobby for his intelligence, success and lack of reserve." (The Daily Beast)

"Inevitably Macfarlane’s bro gets a little less texture and at times his existence and some of his dialogue borders on fan fiction (he tells Bobby how incredible he is on numerous occasions but the same is rarely said back to him) but the actor, a Hallmark Channel stalwart, makes for a charming vision of what a dream boyfriend could be." (Guardian) 

Verdict:

Although based on the reviews Macfarlane is undoubtedly one of the bright spots of Bros, the Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) and Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) type of showstopper raves about his performance are missing.
