Gentlemen Broncos

Gosh, Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre creator Jared Hess is back and delving even deeper into the murky underworld of geekdom. A young fantasy nerd - played by rising star Michael Angarano (The Forbidden Kingdom) - has his idea for a book called Yeast Lords ripped off by a flamboyant established novelist called Ronald Chevalier, played by  awesome Flight Of The Conchords/Eagle Vs Shark man Jemaine Clement.

Sam Rockwell also stars, as the main character of the book in question, and if the film delivers on the promise of its almost disturbingly funny marketing campaign - see Ronald Chevalier's website - then it could be a quote-worthy cult classic to rival Napoleon.

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The director, Jared Hess, who made "Napoleon Dynamite," a film I admit I didn't get, has made a film I don't even begin to get.

A slight return from Napoleon Dynamite's creators.

Has little to offer besides unrelenting strangeness.

Los Angeles Times

Satire aside, what the oddball folks here never feel is real, despite the filmmakers' claims of autobiographical parallels.

New York Times

Timing, good jokes and characters you can laugh with and at are mostly missing from Gentlemen Broncos.

Total Film (UK)

After the hit-and-miss Nacho Libre, hopes that Hess would return to Napoleonic form are soon dashed by a gaudy folly that nurtures quirk to an obsessive, overbearing degree.

Variety (USA)

Napoleon Dynamite seems perfectly well-adjusted (not to mention downright charismatic) compared to homeschooled mama's boy Benjamin Purvis in Gentlemen Broncos, the latest oddball character portrait from one-trick helmer Jared Hess.

ViewAuckland.co.nz (Matt Turner)

Gentlemen Broncos is a textbook example of a future cult movie – it won't appeal to everyone but it's guaranteed to find a small devoted audience on DVD.
