Gentlemen Broncos is a Comedy film directed by Jared Hess. The film stars Michael Angarano, Sam Rockwell, Jemaine Clement and Jennifer Coolidge. Gentlemen Broncos is scheduled to be released theatrically on October 30, 2009.

The husband-and-wife team of director Jared Hess and co-writer Jerusha Hess, who followed "Napoleon Dynamite" with basically the same movie in "Nacho Libre," strain to mine another misfit story in like vein. Michael Angarano stars as an aspiring sci-fi writer whose story is stolen by his literary hero (Jemaine Clement). Clement is the lone highlight by virtue of being occasionally funny and not completely off-putting like the rest of the cast, which includes Jennifer Coolidge, Sam Rockwell, Mike White, Halley Feiffer and Hector Jimenez. The filmmakers wallow in such gags as explosive reptile defecation, gonad theft and projectile vomiting, delivering a chaotic, infuriating mess that will challenge the most-devoted of the "Napoleon Dynamite" faithful. PG-13 for some crude humor. 90 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.
