Review by Sandcooler

When Steffen Haars and Flip Van Der Kuil made their first "New Kids" shorts and the feature film, their humour was refreshingly in your face. Every character they wrote was rude and violent, every joke was completely over the top, it was beautiful unstructured chaos acted in a genius deadpan style. It was also something I had just never seen before. After three movies however, I'm sort of wondering if they can do anything else. "Bros Before Hoes" doesn't technically have the same characters of "New Kids" and its sequel, but that doesn't stop them from making the exact same movie again. Now apparently it's a romantic comedy, but who cares, it's just the same jokes they've done to death in their earlier works. People puke, smoke crack, do anal, watch porn, beat each other up for no reason, take their cocks out in public, sexually assault the mentally handicapped, that used to be hilarious but the surprise effect is completely gone now. This is clearly not what the directors want, because generic gross-out seems to be all they have left now to keep the audience interested. There's one great moment though: there's a scene where the main character meets his dad and the part is genuinely emotional and funny at the same time. It's a brilliantly written and acted scene in a sea of mediocrity. It almost makes me hopeful for the directors' next feature (almost).
