Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A crude yet cuddly comedy written by a star of "The Big Bang Theory."

rotten:
There are some decent laughs here (especially for a well choreographed sex scene) and even an amusing soundtrack, but there's just not enough story to go around.

fresh:
The plot is beyond basic and the dialogue so crude it almost feels like an R-rated cartoon. Still, The Bronze has a loony Napoleon Dynamite-meets-Talladega Nights-on-the-balance-beam charm.

This ostensibly edgy comedy didn't wring a single laugh out of me until maybe fifteen minutes before the finale.

I 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.
