SummaryA decade ago, Hope Ann Greggory (Melissa Rauch) was America's sweetheart. Her inspired performance on a ruptured Achilles at the world's most prestigious gymnastics tournament clinched an unlikely bronze medal for the U.S. team and brought glory to her hometown of Amherst, Ohio. But in the years since that epic third place victory, Hope hasn't do... Read More

The Bronze has a loony Napoleon Dynamite–meets–Talladega Nights-on-the-balance-beam charm. Hope may be a giant jackass, but she’s America’s jackass.

It takes a surprising amount of time to adjust to the film’s shticky conception of its main character, Hope Ann Greggory (Melissa Rauch).

This is a good comedy. I would give it a 7 if it didn't had the best erotic scene at the history of humanity( Porn movies included)! The only negatives is the strong language, an adult film for sure and that sometimes the flow of events is a little slow but when you start to relax the film always manage to suprise you.

Don't sleep on this film - pretty freakin' funny in parts. I think it pretty much befuddled the critics, and they didn't know what to make of it. Sony obviously abandoned it from the jump. Could have found an audience. Oh well.

This is one of those comedies that could have been a brilliant short film on “Funny or Die” or “Saturday Night Live,” but wears out its welcome as a feature-length film.

Disappointingly, this scruffy indie doesn’t live up to its promise either, despite a few flashes of subversive inspiration.

Built on an interesting idea -- but which, unlike Strug, can't quite stick the landing.

There’s a nude scene that comes out of nowhere that’s almost embarrassing. Why is it there? Like the movie itself, it’s almost daring, except it’s not.

The first act of the film wins some laughs on surrealist shock humour, but at the expense of ever accepting this character and her world as real.

The plot of the **** character redeemed has been around forever, and movies like Bad News Bears and the Will Farrell sports movies capitalized on that device. Now comes The Bronze, with Melissa Rauch as the F-bomb dropping ex-gymnast living off past glory while stealing birthday cash from her Dad's mail truck. It's not original by any stretch, but Rauch, who I only knew from Big Bang Theory, delivers big time. And she surrounds herself with excellent support from Gary Cole and Thomas Middleditch, both from two of my favorite comedies, Veep and Silicon Valley. As mentioned the sex scene is the funniest of it's sort since Team America.

Tiene buenos chistes, entretiene, la historia esta agil pq dura poco la peli, pero es predecible, todo es inventado, y todos actuan mal. La escena de sex, creo es lo más original del mundo.

Decent movie, even though Melissa Rauch was annoying at times and I don't mean just her voice. Yes, her character is meant to be like that, but at parts it was just me disliking it instead of being funny what it's meant to be. But the movie has also it's good moments, even though the whole thing was quite predictable and the script is quite cliche.

C’est une ex-championne (médaillée de bronze, d’où le titre…) qui n’en branle pas une depuis des années, lorsqu’elle se voit contrainte d’entraîner une jeune dinde pour la sélection de l’équipe nationale… Elle vit chez son papa, s’empiffre, fume de l’herbe, jure comme un charretier, se promène dans son survêtement informe d’entraînement… et pourtant, elle reste méga bonne comme peut en attester une scène très intéressante (et acrobatique) vers 1h14 environ. Certes, on voit bien qu’elle fait de la gymnastique de compète et on voit bien (aussi) qu’elle a des cuisses comme des jambons mais elle reste certainement une bien belle jambonneuse ! Mais bon à part ça et peut-être un ou deux moments presque drôles (j’ai dit presque) pendant grosso merdo la première demi-heure, voire un peu plus, on pourrait aller couler un bronze qu’on n’aurait rien raté de transcendant… sauf si vous êtes allé chier vers 1h14 évidemment parce que là vous auriez raté et ce serait ballot ! J’ai pas raté, car après 35 ou 40 mn, j’ai passé tout le reste de ce navet en avance rapide, par acquis de conscience sans doute. L’actrice concernée s’appelle Melissa Rauch et a joué aussi dans cette série de golios « big bouse theory » dans laquelle elle ressemblait à une bécasse naine à gros cul. Du coup, je m’interroge : est-ce vraiment elle ou une doublure ici ? bon, peu importe au final puisqu’on s’en bat un peu les couilles en fait.
