Los Angeles Times entertainment and arts deputy editor Matt Brennan scolded "Bros" writer and actor Billy Eichner for the angry "post-bomb tweet spiral" he committed after his movie failed at the box office. Brennan did not have harsh words for the film, calling it "perfectly entertaining," and did not want to criticize Eichner, either. However, he claimed that Eichner’s reaction to the film bombing on opening weekend, which reeked of "entitlement" and "self-importance," "forced" his hand into slamming him. After the weekend performance, Eichner tweeted, "Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight! Brennan slammed Eichner’s claims, writing, "It’s not just straight people who failed to show up for Eichner’s rom-com ‘Bros’ on opening weekend who might be feeling the pinch.
